In the retina of many fans is the moment in which the referee Roberto Tobar he was rebuked by Neymar, who challenged him very early in the game. Well, the Chilean decided not to admonish him, what’s more, there was not even a counterclaim, and that was one of the actions that the Conmebol Referees Commission studied after the Brazil 1-0 Colombia match, on November 11. Refereeing errors were expensive.

This Wednesday, the decision of the Commission regarding the specific case of Tobar was known, who was strongly criticized in networks for his arbitration in Sao Paulo. They pointed him out of letting the Brazilians handle the game.
The document published on the official website of Conmebol indicates that “it has made serious and manifest errors in the disciplinary conduct of the party, not making the corresponding decisions in accordance with current regulations, putting the control of the party at risk.”
There he mentions three specific actions. The first, committed by Neymar at 7 minutes. Later, around 26 ‘, a hand of Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, and finally, another unsportsmanlike action by the Brazilian ’10’, at the height of minute 74.
In this way, the Commission decided to “suspend for an indefinite period of time in the exercise of his functions in competitions organized by Conmebol” to Tobar.
The Chilean referee was not the only one suspended in this double round of the Eliminatory. The referee Andrés Ismael Cunha and the VAR, Esteban Ostojich, of the party Argentina vs Brazil, were also punished for what happened with Nicolas Otamendi and his violent conduct on Raphinha.
