Colo Colo’s next two matches are against nublenseon Monday, February 6 at the Monumental Stadium, and against Huachipatoon Sunday February 12 in Talcahuano.
This ruling was not unanimous, since three members of the First Chamber of the Disciplinary Tribune (Franco Acchiardo, Carlos Aravena and Santiago Hurtado) they wanted the punishment for Quinteros to be four dates.
The complaint was made for his statements against Véjar after the Chilean Super Cup against Magallanes, noting that the judge had a partial performance “charging on purpose against Colo Colo”. In addition, the report points out that there was public pressure on the arbitrator so that he no longer directed the white team, statements that were recognized by Quinteros himself at the hearing before the Court.
