Aldo Corzo’s strong claim to Byron Castillo for not throwing the ball in Universitario vs. Barcelona SC | VIDEO

There were no goals in the first half of the clash between Universitario de Deportes and Barcelona SC, for the first leg of Phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores, but there were many emotions. A climate of tension on the court occurred shortly after the first 45 minutes, with Aldo Corzo as the protagonist.

The Peruvian team’s defender was upset with Byron Castillo and ran to his position to rebuke him, after the Ecuadorian did not throw the ball off the field when he saw Nelson Cabanillas lying down, waiting to receive medical attention. The ‘Torero’ defender decided to continue the game ignoring what was happening to the left side of the ‘U’.

Some teammates had to appear to calm down Aldo Corzo, who seemed obviously upset and had friction with some opponents. After the incident, the Venezuelan referee José Argote showed the yellow card to the also member of the Peruvian team.
