Sergio Bueno, the Mazatlán FC coach, finds himself in hot water following a controversial incident in the aftermath of his team's clash with Pumas. The coach was sent off during the match, but the real storm erupted afterward with allegations of disparaging remarks aimed at referee Katia Itzel.

According to reports from sports photographer Eloisa Sánchez, an irate Bueno was heard shouting in the locker room, "Now it turns out a woman wants to come teach us that she has balls." The alleged comment, directed at the official who dismissed him, has sparked immediate backlash and debate about respect within the game.

In her official match report, referee Katia Itzel cited Bueno's "disapproving of the refereeing decisions on the field" as the reason for his red card, which carries an automatic one-match suspension. This incident highlights the intense pressure and emotions in Liga MX, where moments of frustration can quickly escalate into major controversies.
