“It ended up messing up the run of play because it seemed that it was used for anything. Why did the referee constantly have to see what happened and he did not give us anything?

Rodríguez later admitted that this was his opinion and he had not yet seen evidence from the match.

The two sides will meet once again on Sunday night, with América needing to win by two goals to advance to the semi-finals.
