The referee put his pillow on the player's 'private area'

65 minutes CF America drew Leon 2-2 in the 13th round of the Mexican Championship during Clausura, Hernandez issued a yellow card to member Leon Jaine Barreiro. Seeing that, Barreiro's teammate Lucas Romero rushed to complain. In response, the referee put his knee on Romero's "private area", causing the player to fall.

The crash does not affect the game. After that, Romero played the whole game.

The draw resulted in Leon falling from second to third. They have 25 points from 13 matches, equal points but less than Toluca in difference. Monterrey is leading with 34 points. Meanwhile, CF America ranked fourth with 24 points.

The above knee phase caused referee Hernandez to receive a lot of criticism. The Mexican Arbitration Commission said it was looking into the case. "We have opened an investigation into the incident during the America-Leon match, and will announce our findings to the public," the commission said in a statement on April 2.

Fans were also shocked by the incident. Some called for the dismissal of referee Hernandez to set an example. "If a player is an attacker, they will definitely be banned for life," one fan commented. "The same punishment should be applied to this referee. He is terrible and unjust."
