Do you think the Ref affected Club America in the First game of the Copa

Sudamericana Final? To me its clear he did. The first goal Arsenal scored was scored by a player that should have been red carded for the kick he gave Cabanas early in the game. In the second goal, there was a clear handball by Calderon who almost grabbed the ball with both hands as he carried it a couple steps then passed it to the player that scored the goal. The black defender Mosqueda had a clear handball which should have been his second yellow late in the 2nd half and only a foul was called. An offside on a THROW IN????? WOW!! Lopez was taken down in the Penalty area which should have been atleast a direct kick if not a penalty. The ref did not give out enough yellow cards at the beginning of the game which gave Arsenal confidence to commit hard dirty fouls through out the game. America fell into their game because it seamed the Ref was on Arsenals side. The ref set the tone for a bad game. Two goals by Arsenal that should have not counted, lots of bad calls on both sides but they were harsher CA!
