And the strongest part of the news is that the commentator claims that this will be repeated in the match that the Azulcremas will play against Pachuca next Wednesday, May 18 at the Jalisco Stadium.

Which famous sports commentator accused Club America of buying the refereeing?

The sports commentator who made this strong accusation is none other than André Marín, a sports commentator who has hosted programs such as La Última Palabra and is also part of Fox Sports Radio on Fox Sports.

The commentator, without fear of anything, made the accusation on his Twitter account in which he wrote: "Pachuca will have to fight against 12 in the semifinals...America and the refereeing". 

This simple tweet was enough to unleash the fury of the Azulcremas fans who immediately took to his Twitter account to respond to the comment, some in a very concise manner and others with rudeness and offenses. 

The tweet went viral and in a matter of minutes reached more than 2,500 likes and was shared hundreds of times, causing his accusation to go viral. 

But this was not the only thing the commentator did to this day he released a video editorial in which he again made the same point and said: 

"We have a week ahead of us, I hope with good soccer without us talking about the referees, without them helping America because as of this morning, Pachuca thinks they are going to play against 12, and that is not healthy."

His video editorial generated a whole discussion on his Twitter account in which some agreed with him while others disagreed with the sports commentator.

Where did André Marín's accusation come from?

Marín's accusation comes from the fact that in the match against Puebla, a penalty kick was awarded in favor of Club America that was taken by Diego Valdés, and as Antony Silva managed to prevent the goal in his first shot, the penalty kick had to be retaken again.

The repetition was due to the fact that Silva did not respect the rule that the goalkeeper must be still and in place until the shooter touches the ball, and this was reviewed with the VAR, certifying that Silva was ahead of the shot and that is why the penalty had to be retaken again.

The shot was retaken and Valdés scored the second goal of the match, which propelled his team to win the match that ended 3-2 in favor of the Águilas. And that is why André Marín pointed the finger at Club America.
