Club Necaxa is at the center of controversy after the VAR review in the match against Rayados. The refereeing controversy was one of the most talked-about topics during the Necaxa vs Monterrey match.
What happened?
The action, which ended with a penalty in favor of Rayados, sparked intense debate over the decision made and the images presented to the central referee to review the play.
Fernando 'Cantante' Guerrero, former referee and TUDN analyst, revealed that during the penalty review, there was a 'fight in the review', as he claimed that there were disagreements among the VAR officials.
Why is it important for Club Necaxa?
The review continues to generate controversy, and the match ended with a Necaxa win, but the review video will continue to be talked about. With a current position of 4th in Liga MX, 6 pts, 2W-0D-0L from 2 games, and a recent form of WW, Club Necaxa is looking to maintain its pace.
What's next?
The League has not issued any statement regarding the matter, nor have the participating clubs, but the error is more surprising given that the referee participated in the VAR in the 2026 World Cup Final. Lucas Ocampos scored to bring Rayados closer to overcoming the score with one player less. Club Necaxa has scored 4 goals this season and has conceded 2, with a goal difference of +2.
