Arturo Vidal slams referee after red card in Colo Colo 👀

Colo Colo did not have a good day this Sunday in their visit to Audax Italiano at the Bicentenario de La Florida.
The team of Jorge Almirón fell 2-1 in a match with a heated ending, although things seemed to be going better just a few minutes before, when they had tied through Francisco Marchant, who scored his first goal with the Cacique jersey.
But Audax regained the lead with a goal from Leonardo Valencia, and minutes later Arturo Vidal was sent off.

The unusual thing was the way the 'King' saw the red card, after receiving a second yellow card for protesting the first one. Vidal started a strong discussion with referee Fernando Vejar and left the field in a state of confusion.
Arturo Vidal will miss the next game for the Whites, which will be the classic against Universidad Católica, in the pending match of the 5th round of the 2025 First Division. If he doesn't receive more than one game, he will be available again for the other classic, against Universidad de Chile, in the other postponed match, of the 7th round.
Vidal spoke to the media after the match and placed the blame for what happened on the referee, whom he criticized for his reaction and lack of character.

"If a referee doesn't have the character to referee a Colo Colo match, I think he shouldn't referee. In second or third division he could, if he doesn't like the pressure. If he can't handle a high-level player, or a captain who tells him things, and he gives him a yellow card for that, I think it's crazy. Hopefully, in the next matches, we'll get better referees".
