The game between Sporting Cristal and Melgar, for date 2 of the Opening of League 1, was exciting from start to finish. There were four goals and many moments of high tension. One of them was carried out by Jean Pierre Archimbaud and Alejandro Hohberg, who were expelled following facing each other in an incident.
After the match, the ‘Domino’ footballer gave his version of what happened and might not hide his annoyance at the decision of referee Michael Espinoza, who showed him the red card directly, when the first minute of injury time of the second was played. weather,
“Is incredible. Michael expels me because I lied to his mother (Hohberg) for not dribbling the ball for fair play. How do you want me to talk to you? Tell him ‘pretty little brother, take her out, please. It’s fair play. I’m not going to talk to him like that.”Archimbaud pointed out in an interview with Soccer in America.
The midfielder of the Arequipa team admitted to addressing Hohberg with risqué words, to claim him for not respecting fair play, just following his goalkeeper, Carlos Cáceda, had thrown the ball out of the field motivated by physical discomfort.
“He attacks me, he hits me with a header. Obviously, I throw myself on the floor because he attacks me. I never do anything to him. Yes, I insult him, I lie to her mother, so that she throws her out to fair play. Because Cáceda kicked it to the side, because he was hit from a play with Percy Liza earlier. He throws her to the side. Pacheco takes it out, it seems to me, and Hohberg wants to mess with everything in the area. And since he doesn’t get it, I go, confront him with Bernardo Cuesta, asking him why he does that. Obviously speaking to him with strong words and Michael says that I provoked him. So how do I talk to him? How do I tell someone that they are doing something unfair on the field of play?Archimbaud recounted.
Finally, the midfielder, who was a substitute and came on at 69 minutes to replace Alexis Arias, regretted that he was harmed by this punishment. “They are human beings, but they are detrimental, they are detrimental to my work, the possibility of continuing to play and even more so these games that everyone sees”sentenced.
At the Alberto Gallardo Stadium, the result was a two-way tie. For Melgar, Bernardo Cuesta (14′) and Martín Pérez Guedes (53′) scored, while Christofer Gonzales (26′) and Leandro Sosa (81′) did it for the local cast, one of Sporting Cristal’s reinforcements for the present season.
