Argentina tied 2-2 with Venezuela and the game ended with a clear feeling of anger and injustice for the team he led Javier Mascherano. The victory slipped away in the last moments, due to a controversial decision by the Ecuadorian referee Augusto Aragón, who received the call from WAS to check an alleged criminal case.
The account is clear: the first two of the quadrangular will be in Paris 2024. As Paraguay beat Brazil in the first round, Argentina escaped at the top. Now everything was tight: Paraguay with 3 points, Argentina and Venezuela 1, Brazil 0.
It was a hot match, which opened with a couple of completely atypical goals. The first by a goal against Leandro Brey (who later blocked several) and the tie thanks to the header of Carlos Vivas, who took the ball out of his goalkeeper’s hands to make it 1-1.
It began to bite with the double expulsion at the end of the first half, with Valentine Boat provoking the reaction of an opponent and causing both to see the red card. The former Boca player is left without playing on the next date and the sanction of the Disciplinary Court is awaited to find out if he will be against Brazil in the last one.
In the second half, Venezuela seemed closer to victory when the goal came from Thiago Almada, the best of the Argentines in the contest. The world champion has four goals and this was one of the important ones.
The National Team missed several scoring chances, and especially one at the feet of the newcomer Luciano Gondou, the scorer who scored every time he came in but this time he was unlucky. The Argentinos Juniors boy was left hand in hand and the ball hit him so badly that he took it out of the stadium.
The controversy at the end with the VAR protagonist
The clock read 94 when 5 had been added, and the referee thought he saw an infraction that did not appear to be on the left side of the Argentine defense. From there came a center and the clearance that seemed to be the last ball of the night. But no, the referee put his finger to his ear to listen to the VAR call.
After several repetitions, an alleged slap from Gonzalo Lujan the second post on Renne Rivas, who did not even seem to notice the blow. The contact or attempted contact seemed enough for the VAR referee, who called Aragón. It was a penalty and a red card for Luján, who unloaded in the referee’s face, covering his mouth.
Kevin Kelsy’s 2-2 came, the furious shout in the face of the people and some tumults in the stands. In one of them, the TV showed the family of Valentín Barco and Santiago Castro arguing with the Venezuelans.
After the final whistle the fight continued, and it is not ruled out that there was some information between Argentinians and Venezuelans, some chewing out anger and others with enthusiasm ignited by the final 2-2.
