You can analyze each of the failures of Facundo Tello on that controversial afternoon Champions Trophy at the Parque La Pedrera stadium in San Luis, with seven players from Boca sent off and three from Racing. He has had successes and mistakes, but what cannot be said is that he has gone unnoticed. “The game got out of hand”agreed the president.
The players didn’t help either. There was a hot preview and the temperature never dropped during the game – in fact, it got hotter and hotter. As a result, it all led to a big scandal.
This Thursday, three weeks later, he directed again and he did Switzerland versus Cameroon, his debut ever in a World Cup. Circumstances were kind enough and he was capable do a great job.
It was played at the Al Janoub stadium in group G, the one they share with Brazil and Serbia (they face 4 pm), and It went smoothly in a quiet game by both teams.
The only play that could have compromised him was that of a hand inside the area of the African team in which the Europeans claimed a penalty, but he understood well that it was random. The main referee of the VAR was another Argentine, Mauro Vigliano, and upheld the original ruling.
While, the assistants, Ezequiel Bailovsly and Gabriel Chade, they have correctly scored four offsides (two on each side).
In this way, just like Fernando Rapallini did in Morocco vs. Croatia, together with Diego Bonfá and Juan Pablo Belatti, Tello adds points to continue directing in the World Cup.
When will Tello direct again?
The answer is simple and fast. This Thursday will close the first round of the group stage, the first 16 matches of the World Cup, but the number of main referees is 36. So, Tello will have to wait.
As a particularity in this list, Argentina stands out it is one of only four countries with two chief justices. The other three: Brazil (Raphael Claus and Wilton Sampaio) France (Stephanie Frappart and Clement Turpin) e England (Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor).
At the same time, for the first time, women were included. They join Frappart, who has already refereed Champions League matches, Salima Mukansangafrom Rwanda, and from the Japanese Yoshimi Yamashita. In addition, there will be three participants: Neuza Back (Brazil), Karen Diaz Medina (Mexico) e Kathryn Nesbitt (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA).
