André Jardine launches against the refereeing after the tie between Necaxa and América

Club América's perfect passage in the Clausura 2024 tournament came to an end, after drawing 0-0 against Club Necaxa on the corresponding Matchday 3, so after four games played they register 10 points after three wins and a draw. However, it was not a calm match, as the referee's work was questioned by the azulcrema coach, André Jardine, at the end of the meeting at a press conference.

“Yes, it was strange, because we planned a game, the first minutes before the expulsion seemed to me like America was very good, very planted, with total control of the game, I think it was a matter of time to open the scoring. Our expulsion opens up a little and takes America out from behind and increased Necaxa's chances. Then, 10 vs. 10 ends up being a different match than you plan. For me we were always closer to victory than defeat,” said the Brazilian coach.
