Argentina 2 - 1 Uruguay
WC 2010 qualifiers - S. America · 2008-10-11 Referee: Carlos Torres Núñez

Lost

Where is the ref?

Torres showed 10 yellow cards... Nobody could deny that it was a violent game, Uruguayans played in a dirty way, and Argentinians also contributed. There were at least 3 direct-red actions, but Torres only used one colour. There is not justice when a referee books a player for little protesting, and then shows the same card to a man that has terribly kicked or hit another one. Torres did everything in that way.

Poor

Torres wasn´t the boss. During the 2nd half I counted at least five skirmishes, protesting and verbal fighting. In the middle of this, the game was very poor. Argentina won but without playing well, and Uruguay didn´t do anything else than fouling.
