Teletica Journalist Criticizes Tigo Sports Colleagues Over Controversial Football Call


Sport

In a contentious display, Josué Quesada, a prominent journalist from Teletica's TD Más, publicly disagreed with peers from Tigo Sports Radio regarding a controversial football incident involving a penalty call during a match between Alajuelense and Herediano. Initially, a penalty was awarded following an alleged foul by Keyner Brown on Ángel Zaldívar. However, after consulting VAR, the decision was overturned. Quesada disputed the overturn, claiming that the foul was evident and criticized his colleagues, including José Alberto Montenegro, Kristian Mora, and José Eduardo Mora, for what he perceived as a timid approach to discussing the incident. Quesada, who previously worked with Tigo Sports Radio members, expressed disapproval of the panelists' reluctance to assertively criticize the referee’s decision. The journalist emphasized that the incident showcased inadequate officiating despite technological aids like VAR aimed at helping make accurate decisions.
