Miguel Herrera Sparks VAR Row After América‑Atlante Clash

The Apertura 2026 match between Atlante and América ended 1‑1 at the iconic Estadio Azteca, but the game was marred by contentious VAR rulings. Defender Miguel Vázquez was denied a red card, while goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota saw his dismissal reduced to a yellow after a VAR review.

Coach Miguel Herrera publicly criticized referee Katia Itzel García, defending his players and accusing the officiating crew of bias. The incident has reignited debate over VAR consistency in Liga MX.
