Mohamed slams Liga MX refs: “They send your best player off for no reason”

Universidad Nacional has suffered a surprising defeat at the hands of Necaxa in Aguascalientes, losing 1-0 to the team that currently sits at the bottom of the Liga MX table. This defeat has dealt a severe blow to their hopes of making it directly into next month’s playoffs. The turning point in the match came when César Huerta was controversially sent off after just 13 minutes, leaving the Pedregal team with a man down for most of the game. This decision left Auriazul coach Antonio Mohamed furious as he felt that his best player was unjustly sent off without any valid reason.

Following the incident, Mohamed expressed his frustration, saying, “Before Chino Huerta was sent off, nothing happened; after Huerta was ordered off, we had to play almost the entire game with a disadvantage. It’s very difficult to analyze a game when your best player gets sent off without even committing a foul.”

Mohamed remains hopeful for Pumas’ comeback

Despite suffering back-to-back defeats against Monterrey and Nexaca, El Turco stays true to his style and chooses to focus on the positives rather than dwell on the loss of three points. He said, “It always hurts to lose, but let’s hope to recover for the next game. We will continue to strengthen ourselves for the remaining three matches. I always say that we will evaluate our position at the end.”

Pumas’ board will wait for the Federation’s decision regarding Huerta’s punishment before deciding whether to file an appeal. On a positive note, Nathan Silva has now completed his suspension and will be available for the upcoming match against León on Tuesday night.
