Atlético de Madrid's 2-1 defeat against Getafe left an image that continues to be talked about. Ángel Correa was sent off in the 85th minute, a key moment that ended up changing the course of the match. However, beyond the action itself, journalist Gonzalo Miró's anger on COPE's Tiempo de Juego has been one of the most discussed aspects of the post-match.
The Sending Off That Changed the Match
The match was under control for Atlético de Madrid, who were leading 0-1 and approaching the top of the table. However, in the 85th minute, everything went awry. Ángel Correa went in with his studs up in a contested ball against Djené, who got there first and cleared the ball. Referee Cuadra Fernández initially showed a yellow card, but after being called by VAR and reviewing the play on the monitor, he had no doubt: a straight red card for the Argentine.
The sending off was a severe blow for Simeone's side. In the next play, Getafe equalized the match after a free-kick and a series of rebounds. Five minutes later, Diego Rico scored the 2-1 with the help of a deflection from Arambarri, unleashing madness at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
Gonzalo Miró's Anger with Correa
During the broadcast of the match on Tiempo de Juego, Gonzalo Miró didn't hold back when analyzing Correa's action. "What kind of mind do you need to have to do that in a ball you have absolutely lost?" the commentator asked aloud.
The moment that sparked his anger came after the sending off. Correa left the field visibly angry and, as captured by television cameras, directed insults at the referee. At that moment, Miró exploded.
Miró's Harsh Words
"This guy is stupid. To begin with, the tackle is out of place, the red card, the matches he could miss, and on top of that, telling the referee what he's supposed to have said," he criticized.
Meanwhile, the situation could worsen even more for Atlético de Madrid. In the match report, it was noted how Cuadra Fernández recorded the insults made by Ángel Correa. This, with the rulebook in hand, could result in a 4-12 match suspension for the Argentine player.
