Controversy in Mexico unleashes the fury of James Rodriguez's mother and claims that there was a 'robbery'

The Lion of Mexico is living a dream present in the 2025 Clausura Tournament, as it does not know what it is like to lose since the arrival of Colombian James Rodríguez, who became a key part of the project.

James took over the leadership of a team that is flying at the start of the season and is focused on doing well in the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States. The '10' has not felt the burden of responsibility and continues to respond to his critics with football.

The Cucuteño has played seven games in the Liga MX and has been fundamental, scoring two goals and providing four assists. Since he landed in Guanajuato , León has not lost and is undefeated for eight games.

Last Saturday, León beat Tigres UANL by the minimum difference, with James Rodríguez as a starter. The goal by Colombian Stiven Mendoza at the beginning of the game was enough to keep the 3 points at the Nou Camp stadium.

But the game was not without controversy. In the second half, James executed a cross into the area that was headed by Steven Barreiro, the ball hit one of the posts and was rejected almost on the line.

An image in the stadium gave the impression that the ball had gone in its entirety, but the central referee and the linesman did not validate the alleged goal. The VAR also did not call the referee to change his opinion.

The situation sparked the fury of James Rodriguez's mother, Maria del Pilar Rubio, who said on her social media that the Lions "had a goal stolen from them." "I'm going to say that we won... A wrongly disallowed goal (stolen) and 15 minutes of extra time," were the words of the woman in a post by the Mexican club.
