Vaca says Hernández refused to shake his hand in a hotel lobby and referenced Vaca’s past call on air that he should not officiate again. The broadcaster ties the tension to a prior game in which Hernández was involved in a widely criticized altercation with a León player. According to Vaca, other referees stepped in to calm Hernández, the exchange ended there, and no blows were exchanged. He places the episode at a Monterrey hotel in late 2024 and disclosed it this week on Podcast Cuadro A, with multiple outlets picking up the account. There has been no published response from Hernández or Liga MX, and no formal complaint or disciplinary action has been reported regarding the hotel encounter.
