Alistair Johnston, the standout Celtic player, was left feeling dazed and disoriented after a ‘headbutt’ from Marcos López went unnoticed by officials during Canada’s exciting win over Peru at the Copa America.
The incident occurred as Johnston and López exchanged words, with the Feyenoord player appearing to make contact with Johnston’s head. Despite a VAR review, no action was taken against López. Nevertheless, Johnston and his Canadian team emerged victorious, keeping their hopes alive for a spot in the knockout stage.
During the match, Jonathan David, who has been linked with top clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United, scored the winning goal against Peru. The Peruvian team was later reduced to 10 men after Miguel Araujo was sent off in the second half. Despite the controversial incident, Johnston received praise for his performance, proving once again that he is a key player for both his club and his country.
