Piero Maza, the referee in charge of the VAR who was...

When it seemed that the duel between the Peruvian and Brazilian Selection continued to cause bitterness over the lousy arbitration of Julio Bascuñán, the controversy returned to be present and again on the less sporty side. Well, it happens that the already questioned main judge is joined by the name of his compatriot Piero maza.

What exactly happened? From what is already known, it was learned that both Chilean referees in charge of “imparting justice” in the National Stadium, have a history to worry about in the professional league of their country, to the point of being ‘frozen’ by the governing body that governs football .

Under that line, Maza is the name that fans of the Catholic University remember with obvious annoyance, since he was in charge of directing the duel against Colo Colo in February 2020.

The controversial thing came when an obvious penalty in the area of ​​the ‘Cacique’, on Edson Puch, caused the call of attention not only from the fans present but also from the technical command of the visiting team on that occasion, to which Maza proceeded to review the specific action on the VAR screen.

The images spoke for themselves, but to the amazement of all those present the referee decided not to charge the shot from the twelve steps and continued to charge a corner kick “as a reward”, which led to it being banned for two days in the Chilean tournament.

Julio Bascuñán is not far behind and it is that he also has unintelligible precedents and only for Eliminatory, but also in Copa Libertadores. The most recent was in Argentina vs Uruguay for the 2018 World Cup Russia qualifiers.

That said, is it that the Peruvian Football Federation presents the formal claim once and for all? There are tests and of course more than one, to which it may be required that this shortlist of Chilean referees cannot be considered in the magnitude of a contest as important as the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers.
