Piero Maza, referee of the match, mentioned the following: “I don't see any type of foul”, with which the VAR room began the exhaustive review that led to this exchange of words: “He hooks the ball, passes by and the contact I don't see it at first... There is a touch with the leg drawn up, there is a touch with the leg drawn up. I need to watch it slower. Frame by frame I need to see it, he passes with his right foot and hits with his left,” according to Juan Lara, the room's delegate.
Piero Maza continued with the review of the contact on Daniel Muñoz, of whom he had an image just around midnight, mentioning the following: “It is clearly enabled, there contact with the picked up foot, not with the front foot. The defender does not touch the ball”, to which the centre-back added: “I'm going with a penalty without a yellow card”, delivering his final ruling for the moment that preceded James Rodríguez's charge.
Néstor Lorenzo wanted to throw light on the matter by mentioning the following at a press conference: “I saw it and it did seem criminal to me, both live from the field, he wears it, they are interpretations”, thus closing all types of controversy, although Everything seems to indicate that in the land of the world champions, they are not entirely happy with the resolution of the match.
