Javier Correa, the Argentine striker for Colo Colo, faces a summons from the Disciplinary Tribunal following critical remarks directed at referee Nicolás Gamboa after the team's defeat against Huachipato in the Copa de la Liga. Correa publicly accused the referee of consistently making calls against his team.
In the mixed zone of the Huachipato stadium in Talcahuano, Correa stated, "Every time it's us, he screws us... he has something against us." Referee Gamboa included these statements in his official report, noting that Correa "used offensive language against me."
Every time it's us, he screws us... he has something against us.
Correa is scheduled to present his defense at the Tribunal's next session on June 16. According to the Tribunal's regulations, any potential suspension must be served in the next official competition organized by the ANFP that the player participates in. Since Colo Colo has been eliminated from the Copa de la Liga, any sanction would be applied to the upcoming Liga de Primera matches, not the Copa Chile, which is organized by the Football Federation of Chile.
Colo Colo's next match, with Correa available for selection, is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, against Cobresal. The game is part of the 15th round of the Liga de Primera, kicking off at 5:30 p.m. local time.
