Alianza Lima’s victory over Deportivo Municipal has already left its mark on the protagonists of the controversy. According to what has become known in the last few hours, the linesman Victor Raez, who did not penalize the offside in Carlos Zambrano’s second goal, will not referee any more League 1 games until further notice. This was announced by the newspaper Líbero through the journalist Gustavo Peralta.
In addition to his failing goal to make it 2-1, Raéz’s performance at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium was also questioned by other dubious attacks from advanced positions. Because of this, they decided to suspend it indefinitely.
The news was published shortly after the statement by Carmen Retuerto, President of the National Referees Commission (Conar). The former referee recently pointed out that several referees had already received “some quite serious” attention calls due to the various errors that had occurred at the inaugural tournament in recent weeks.

It was Carlos Zambrano’s goal for offside
About 84 minutes into the game, referee Edwin Ordóñez awarded the team a free-kick for a foul on Aldair Rodríguez. Hernán Barcos connected the cross into the box before Zambrano headed in. The replay clearly shows that the “pirate” was ahead at the time of the pass, which is why the action should have been cancelled.
Other referees are sanctioned in League 1
As Peralta added, the linesman who disallowed a legitimate goal by ADT against Deportivo Binacional on matchday two, as well as FIFA referee Augusto Menéndez, who disallowed Alianza Atlético’s game against Deportivo Binacional, were also fined. Academic. In the last case, the referee was “frozen” not only with his distance for the binational vs. Sporting Cristal but also internationally.
