The coach of the Mexican National Team, Juan Carlos Osorio, was the protagonist of an intense episode during the match between América and Xolos, corresponding to date 13. Although the match ended in a 2-2 draw at the Estadio Caliente, the real controversy occurred off the field when Osorio confronted André Jardine, head coach of Xolos, and his coaching staff over their behavior towards the referees.
In the program "Línea de Cuatro" on TUDN, André Jardine was questioned about the incident and explained that Osorio felt upset over a dialogue he was having with the fourth referee. Jardine compared the situation to a "hit" he received in "school," making it clear that there was a heated exchange between both coaches on the field of play.
In this match, Osorio received a red card for his altercation with the Xolos bench, while Jardine was only cautioned with a yellow card due to their verbal discussion. Videos circulating on social media show the moment when Osorio loses his temper and attempts to get into a physical confrontation with Jardine on his way to the stadium's locker rooms, which has generated criticism from fans.
It is worth noting that this is not Osorio's first ejection in the tournament, as he was previously sent off in the match against Pumas in matchday 9. The incident between Osorio and Jardine continues to generate interactions on social media, where fans express their disapproval of the former coach of the Mexican National Team's attitude in the matches.
