Football incidents in the final: Arturo Vidal faces River team after Colo Colo’s elimination

The midfielder had a special night at the Más Monumental stadium. After Matonte’s whistle, he was reprimanded by the players of the transandean team and, when he went to the locker room, he gestured to the public.

Arturo Vidal had a special night against River Plate. In Buenos Aires, he was not forgiven for his statements from last week. “I have more titles than all of River,” he said. Even his subsequent explanations were not enough to avoid hostility during the match where Colo Colo said goodbye to the Copa Libertadores. At the end of the match, the midfielder faced the team led by Marcelo Gallardo. A situation that is repeated in the continental competition.

When the Cacique qualified for the quarter-finals, the King was also reprimanded by his junior colleagues from Barranquilla. On this occasion, the uproar grew and a small fight broke out, which was quickly deterred. The white players tried to lower his profile and remove Vidal from his duties.

That day, the former Bayern Munich player made noise right from the warm-up, when he responded to the chants with hand gestures. Finally, as he headed towards the locker room of the Más Monumental, The king made faces at the audience with crying gestures and other provocations.

The match was marked by the only goal. At that moment, Vidal was stuck in the River goal. It was in the 16th minute that Santigo Simón recovered a second ball that he put into the area and Facundo Colidió attacked alone to beat Brayan Cortés. Goalkeeper Leonardo Gil and Alan Saldivia called for offside. However, it was Vidal who did not leave his position and allowed the transandean striker from almost a meter. The former Juventus player, aware of his mistake, did not join the protests of his teammates.
