The directive of Blue CrossHe will insist on modifying the appointment of referee Daniel Quintero Huitrón for the grand final against the Cougars next Sunday under different details that he had with this whistler in several matches of the general tournament.
The main argument to challenge the choice of the aforementioned whistler by the Referees Commission is that Quintero Huitrón had several details in the Celeste Machine matches that affected the result, especially in the game against Pumas in the general tournament, where an action by Willer Ditta opened the door for Pumas’ first goal in an alleged foul on Memo Martínez in the 64th minute which led to the penalty scored by Juninho.
Yes, but it is strange how that referee whistles a lot at Pumas, in that 3-2 there was a poorly marked penalty against Cruz Azul (I attach evidence) and in that 2-2 it was Ditta’s poorly marked penalty on memote pic.twitter.com/KpGxBcNuAL

In said match corresponding to date 11 between felines and cement workers, Ditta sought to avoid a mark on Martínez, which for the celestials was a reference mark and does not burden the rival, but Quintero Huitrón judged the play differently and the cement workers had a bad taste in their mouths.
For that reason they decided to challenge the designation of the whistler, supported by the antecedent of the Pumas protests against several whistlers such as César Ramos against the Tigres de la UANL and Luis Enrique Santander in the semifinal against Pachuca, so that the Referees Commission gives entry to this claim.
The moment of uncertainty that Mexico’s arbitration is going through with appointments that have bowed to the economic interests of the teams has opened the door to Cruz Azul’s claim, therefore, in the event that the high command of the whistlers decides to ignore the challengewill leave a negative precedent in the administration of justice, where, under these arguments, it is selective.
