Arturo Vidal He starred in three controversial episodes in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinal match between River Plate and Colo-Colo (1-0). The midfielder fired up the ‘millionaire’ fans before and after the match, where he clashed with ‘Toro’ Acuña and goalkeeper Armani. In addition, he kicked Mastantuono hard.
Even before the start of the clash, which had already heated up before, the Chilean addressed the public in a teasing manner, pointing out ugly gestures to the stands, which for their part were also involved. He met two of River’s three world champions. First with Franco Armani. The goalkeeper made a sensational dribble and Vidal, on fire, shortly after asked for a yellow card for the goal for wasting time and insulted him, accusing him of being a coward by calling him a “shithole.”
In another episode, Vidal was unable to deal with Nacho Fernández’s foul but ended up with ‘Huevo’ (Acuña), a heated clash that ended up pushing both sides and forcing his teammates to separate them so he could . did not reach the majors, although the same results were forewarned.
In the end, the former Barça player flirted with sending off and was spared as referee Matonte excused him, as Vidal had a powerful impact on Franco Mastantuono with just three minutes left in the match. The Chilean came on late and hit the River Plate gem, an action which saw local fans demand a red card that never came.
