Pause in Mexico vs. Uruguay because to a homophobic yell


Due to the activation of the anti-discrimination protocol at 52', when the South American squad was already leading Tricolor 4-0, the Mexico vs. Uruguay match was halted for a short while.

In contrast to previous matches, Raúl Rangel, the Mexican goalie, was the target of the yell. When the Chivas player cleared the ball, the spectators at Empower Field at Mile High appeared as though they were attempting to kick out the soccer stadiums.

The crowd was instructed to stop making those kinds of gestures, and the game was stopped for a short while as a result. According to procedure, in the event that a homophobic yell is heard, the stadium will first be used to attract attention to the public. If the behavior continues, the game will then be suspended and paused for a short while.

Now, the action started when Uruguay displayed Jaime Lozano's team. The Marcelo Bielsa-led team defeated the Mexican squad with four goals in fifty minutes.

Raúl Rangel made his debut for the National Team as a goalkeeper, making him one of the most prominent. Along with the score, the supporters started jeering every member of Jaime Lozano's squad because they were easily surpassed by the Uruguayan player.

Despite the positive response from the supporters to the encounter against Marcelo Bielsa's team, Mexico made the decision to employ substitute players for the match against Uruguay. For a stadium that can hold more than 70,000 people, more over 50,000 tickets were sold.

In addition, the referee in Denver terminated the game minutes early because the Mexican supporters had invaded the playing field.

On social media, the Mexican National Team was also criticized. Along with the questioning of players like Henry Martín and Hirving Lozano, the name of Guillermo Ochoa became a trend.
