Alexis Vega scored the best goal so far in the Liga MX Apertura 2022 tournament. The Chivas de Guadalajara striker beat goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota with a cannon shot from outside the area. However, the spectacular goal of the rojiblanco striker was annulled by the whistler Jorge Antonio Pérez Durán. For some analysts, this marking was very strict and for others, it was completely unfounded.
Felipe Ramos Rizo, a former professional referee and one of the authorized voices to talk about arbitration issues, considered that Alexis Vega’s score should have gone up in the duel between Chivas de Guadalajara and León at the Akron Stadium. The ESPN chain analyst described as a “horror” the annulment of this goal, a decision that was supported by the VAR.
“After the disallowed goal against America, it seems that they do not understand, the poor VAR continues with its lousy interventions, now they wrongly cancel Chivas, horrors as Archundia says”

The central referee indicated that the work of Pérez Durán was “bad and rigorous”. In Vega’s annotation, the whistleblower considered that there was an offside by Gilberto Sepúlveda, an element that did not participate in the play. This was the argument with which they annulled the target. A similar play, which ended in a goal by Álvaro Fidalgo, followed the same controversial annulment criteria.
Through their social networks, Chivas de Guadalajara criticized the decision of the central referee and sarcastically indicated: “What Cota could not get, Pérez Durán got it.”
