Javier Correa sanctioned with two-match ban following Superclásico

Colo Colo striker Javier Correa has been sanctioned with a two-match suspension by the ANFP Disciplinary Tribunal following obscene gestures made during the Superclásico against Universidad de Chile. The decision follows a formal complaint by Universidad de Chile.

Correa has publicly criticized the ruling, calling the disciplinary process “a joke” and questioning the impartiality of the tribunal members. He suggested that sessions should be broadcast publicly to ensure transparency.

The Colo Colo squad has expressed collective support for the player. In a statement shared via social media by Arturo Vidal and other teammates, the club emphasized that “the entire Colo Colo squad is with you, Javier,” and pledged to stand together against perceived injustices.
