Peru filed a complaint with FIFA against Brazilian referee Anderson Daronco for his controversial performance in the match against Uruguay for the penultimate date of the South American qualifier for the Qatar-2022 World Cup, the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) reported on Sunday.
“The FPF informs that, last Friday, a forceful complaint was filed with FIFA, regarding the actions of referee Anderson Daronco, due to publicly known facts,” indicates a statement from the FPF.
“The FPF expects a prompt response from FIFA under a regular conduct in its procedures,” the letter added.
In the closing minutes of Peru’s 1-0 loss to Uruguay on Friday, a controversial move took place at the Centenario Stadium.
The Uruguayan goalkeeper Sergio Rochet managed to contain the ball, but he fell back a meter behind the goal line and sparked the debate because, according to the Peruvian side, the ball in his hands would have crossed the limit of the goal line and all entered the goal. .
Conmebol revealed the VAR audio and video of the action, where it determined that there was no goal.
With 21 points and fifth in the table, Peru depends on itself for which it must beat Paraguay on Tuesday in Lima and secure the playoff to face an Asian team in June.
In the event of a tie in Lima, the red and white team will have to wait until Colombia (20) does not beat Venezuela at home and Chile (19) does not do the same against Uruguay in Santiago.
