Message for the Eagles. At the end of the match against Americain which he fell Puebla 2-1, Hernan Cristante was expelled. After having shown his annoyance with the refereeing, the technical director of La Franja saw the red card and faced the American fans, to whom he signaled as if he were a devil, reminding them of the Final lost against Toluca in the previous tournament.

Hernán’s first annoyance occurred in the 66th minute, as the penalty awarded in favor of the Águilas was considered wrong. Later, in response to the fouls called against Puebla, the coach asked the fourth referee to “mark one in his favor,” already with gestures of anger and desperation. However, his biggest frustration came on the last play of the game.

In the 99th minute of the game, after Ramón Juárez’s comeback goal, the entire Puebla bench angrily complained to the referee. Among them, the Argentine strategist also showed his annoyance and insulted referee Martín Molina Astorga, for which he was expelled. However, while walking to the locker room, the former goalkeeper made two controversial gestures against the American fans.

While the strategist received insults and ridicule, Cristante turned to look at them and made signs with his hands, between which he placed two separate fingers on his head, as if he were a Devil. This was in reference to the Final lost against Toluca just in May of this year, a team in which he played, was as technical director and marked history.
