Overview
- Antonio 'Turco' Mohamed publicly said the referee was "not up to the level" after the 3-3 match between Toluca and Cruz Azul and claimed specific incidents, like a tackle by Gonzalo Piovi, should have been punished with a red card.
- A video circulated showing Mohamed approaching Katia Itzel García near the dressing rooms to confront her directly after the final whistle.
- Hours after the match García posted religious and anti-hypocrisy images on her Instagram stories without naming Mohamed, and fans and media widely interpreted those posts as an indirect response.
- Prominent commentators, led by David Faitelson, condemned Mohamed's conduct and pointed to his history of public clashes with officials; reporting also notes the confrontation revived a prior exchange between them in Jornada 8.
- Media say Liga MX disciplinary rules allow sanctions for public criticism of referees, so authorities may review Mohamed's remarks and actions while García's high-profile status as an international assignment recipient adds scrutiny to the case.
