Matías Kranevitter was one of the protagonists of matchday 11 of the Clausura 2022 of Liga MX, however, the Argentine midfielder did not earn this distinction for his great performance on the field of play, but for a cunning attack on Yeferson Soteldo in the Classic Royal. Through social networks, a video has been shared in which it is seen how the containment hit the Venezuelan winger from behind in a play in which the ball was not even in dispute.
Incredibly, referee Jorge Antonio Pérez Durán, who witnessed Kranevitter’s attack on Soteldo, did not even show a yellow card. Arturo Brizio, head of the Refereeing Commission, considered that this move would have resulted in a red card for the Argentine player for “violent conduct”. Tigres raised a disagreement and the Disciplinary Commission is expected to sanction the Rayados element in the following days.
Through his social networks, Matías Kranevitter sent a message about his behavior last weekend in the Clásico Regio. The Argentine, through an Instagram story, apologized for what happened last Saturday and stated that his intention was never and never will be to hurt a colleague.
“I’m really sorry. I apologize to Soteldo, my club and the fans. We have to be an example and recognize mistakes in order to learn from them. I made a mistake and I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. Football is a sport that we love”
– Matthias Kranevitter
Kranevitter entered at minute 65 of the duel between Tigres and Monterrey to replace Rodolfo Pizarro. The player finished the match despite the blow he dealt to Yeferson Soteldo. Following Tigres’ complaint, he could be sanctioned with a match suspension.
