Javier Correa criticizes disciplinary sanctions after Colo Colo return
Colo Colo striker Javier Correa expressed frustration regarding a recent disciplinary sanction following his return to play in a match against O’Higgins. After a three-match suspension—reduced from four following a club appeal—Correa scored a notable goal and was named the match's best player despite the game ending in a draw.
In post-match comments, Correa criticized the ANFP Disciplinary Tribunal, alleging inconsistent enforcement of rules. He claimed that other players who engaged in physical confrontations with referees received lighter penalties, suggesting that Colo Colo is being unfairly targeted to destabilize the club. He stated, “The bar is different and we know it. We are Colo Colo and it hurts them to see us doing well.”
