Hercules Gomez indicates that the Angelino club will appeal the expulsion of the Colombian defender, as they argue the simulation of the American goalkeeper
Mexico.- The expulsion of Colombian defender Eduard Atuesta has been appealed by Los Angeles FC, alluding to simulation of goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, As the MLS team wants to reach the final of the CONCACAF Champions League final against the Tigers.
ESPN commentator Herculez Gómez told ESPN Digital that Los Angeles FC had already sent a letter to the relevant CONCACAF authorities and different angles of the video of the return match he held against America in which Eduard Atuesta was expelled.
Hercules knows that these are images that the public has not seen of Guillem Ochoa’s play. “It is intended that the red card be taken away (from Eduard Atuesta). They are sure that with the video they have, which shows a simulation of Ochoa and that he did not touch it. I spoke to people from the club and they commented to me . I haven’t seen the video yet, but officers assure me it’s obvious; personally, I find it hard to get that red out. “
ESPN commentator considers that if they take the red card from the Los Angeles FC defense, “it will be a big plus for the team, because Eduard Atuesta is a very important player, for my taste the second most important player in Los Angeles FC, behind Carlos Vela, but if not, then it changes a lot, as Tigres is a very good rival in terms of proposal and when you do not have a fixed restraint to protect this defensive line that, I insist, has suffered a lot this year and it can complicate your life. “
He adds that it is ironically that the greatness of Mexican football is being defended by the team that many in Mexico insist is not great, the team of the decade that is Tigers “, Hence I consider the CONCACAF club final to be a great show, “a very divided final. From the start I thought the cats would play for the title.”
On Tuesday 22nd, Tigers and Los Angeles FC will settle the CONCACAF Champions League title in Orlando, Florida.
