Thanks to a brace from Hernán Barcos, Alianza Lima secured a valuable 2-1 victory in their game against Carlos Mannucci. At the end of the game, the Carlist goalkeeper seemed annoyed with the referee Manuel Heredia, who revealed the conversation he had with the referee about the VAR’s actions on the ‘Pirates’ second goal.
“I think people talk about the referees all the time, if not every day. I would like to respectfully say that the referee told me that they would calibrate the VAR on the second goal. In such a crucial game.” “We are calibrating the VAR at the moment and it leaves us with this bitter taste because if the VAR was not suitable, the decision was made by the lineman who had already raised the flag,” he said at a press conference .
Likewise, the 37-year-old goalkeeper considered that the referee had filled them with cards during the game and asked if this was not the case with the cards led by Mauricio Larriera.

“It didn’t condition Alianza Lima at any point, they threw out two of us, at the beginning of the game they gave us yellow cards, but if I remember correctly, no Alianza player got a card.” “So how can this be interpreted, especially when we are in the home stretch and need points to reach the Copa Sudamericana?” he concluded.
This was Hernán Barcos’ second goal
