Edwin Ordoñez, the referee designated for the final in Matute who did not pass the Conar evaluation

Likewise, the VAR will be in charge of Joel Alarcón, who will go together with Jonny Bossio (AVAR 1), Michael Espinoza (AVAR 2), Carmen Retuerto (QM) and Yovani Quevedo (advisor). Retuerto is currently the president of Conar.

Ordoñez’s name is not well received by cream fans, despite the fact that in the two games he led the ‘U’ in 2023 they won: 2-1 against Municipal and 3-0 against Boys. His image is associated with the expulsion of Alex Valera before the council council. And the judge showed the forward two yellow cards and, at the end of the match, he insulted him in front of the cameras.

However, beyond the suspicions about his possible support for Alianza Lima – the same could be said of Sebastián Lozano, who was in the VAR in the first leg and has photos wearing a ‘U’ shirt – and the reprehensible acts of vandalism of pseudo merengue fans in the facilities of La Videna de San Luis, Trade was able to learn that Ordoñez should not have maintained the international FIFA category for this year.

We had access to a report left by the members of the previous commission, then chaired by Manuel Garay, and therefore, by 2023 he should have stopped being a FIFA referee. The same happens with Jesus Cartagenachosen as the fourth referee, since he got a 7.01 grade.

As of press time, we are trying to contact Carmen Retuerto, who took over as president of Conar since December of last year, to find out her position on this case. However, we did not get any response.

They take the word

Manuel Barreto, Sports director of Universitario, referred to the appointment of Edwin Ordóñez as main referee, putting a cold shoulder to the matter. , he pointed out.

Likewise, Barreto did not hesitate to praise Kevin Ortega, the referee who was in charge of administering justice in the first final played at the Monumental. “I think it’s one of the best in the tournament,” he said.

The one who also spoke about Ordoñez was the coach Jorge Fossati. Beyond talking about football – what really matters – the coach pointed out that “At first I was surprised by the appointment of these referees. From there I find out that there are other referees who are not going to be in the country, but ultimately and to be specific, I have to assume that the soccer authorities want the best for Peruvian soccer.”.

“If they have been appointed it is because they believe they have the capacity to do so. he finished.
