Andrés Vaca recounted that referee Fernando ‘Curro’ Hernández refused to shake his hand and confronted him in a hotel lobby. According to Vaca, Hernández cited a broadcast in which Vaca said the referee should not work another match. Vaca said the exchange stayed verbal as other referees urged Hernández to calm down, though he feared it could escalate. The account was disclosed on the Cuadro A podcast and reported on September 3 by Mexican outlets including RÉCORD and Grupo Milenio. Reports contain Vaca’s first-person description, and they do not include a public response from Hernández or an official Liga MX statement.
