“You can see in the television replays that he elbowed me. I’m not going to say any more but I think the referees have to be a little more alert. This type of thing can’t be allowed to happen. It was off the ball,” Guerrero told reporters after the match.

When asked about the incident Lugano said: “He is a good player, it was something that happened when the ball was in dispute.”
