Part 5/7:
A recurring theme in the discussion was the performance of the officiating crew, specifically referee Daronco, who faced criticism for several decisions that appeared to skew the match's flow. The discussion noted that the referee's approach seemed to be inconsistent, leaving players and fans questioning the legitimacy of certain calls, including a controversial red card shown to Pulgar.
The commentary characterized Daronco's officiating style as detrimental, stating he was "insufferable to watch," with calls that arguably disrupted the natural momentum of the game. The impact of VAR (Video Assistant Referee) technology was also noted, with concerns expressed about how it influenced critical decisions.
