Andre Orellana's red card offence has been described as one of the hardest tackles ever seen.
“I think it was a play where the momentum and courage for the game overcame me, it is not correct at all."Germán Mejía told me that nothing was happening, that he loves me and that I was part of the game, that I should not lose my DNA and that I should continue working, that I have a lot to continue growing."
He added:"This is part of football, all that remains for me is to correct and know how to control each impulse. I have to know how to have a balance. I tell you that this will not happen again."One said:"Should never play again," while another commented:"The tackle itself is obviously something but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a referee reaching for the red card before the tackled player lands on the floor before.
A third wrote:"2 for 1. And that had to be the fastest I’ve ever seen a ref go to his back pocket for a red."When a reporter told the defender that his actions were going viral on social media, Orellana replied:"This is part of football. As I mentioned before, I am aware that I was wrong and I apologise to everyone. We learn from mistakes."
