Real Sociedad maintains the leadership for another week thanks to the point obtained against Athletic, although it could be three since the lions achieved the tie in the discount. Real Madrid and Sevilla, who defeated Elche and Osasuna, are still on the prowl and Atlético is placed in fourth position. The Barcelona returned to leave points another day more.
In the absence of two games to close the day, the VAR has intervened twice this weekend. The first was at Carranza, with a call from Mateu Lahoz (VAR) to Pizarro Gómez to recommend the cancellation of a red to Iza. The Cádiz player was sent off for tripping Dani Rodríguez and cutting off a clear chance of scoring, but that play had originated from Baba’s foul on Espino. The referee reviewed the play and sanctioned the Mallorca player’s fault and annulled everything that happened afterwards, including the red one to Iza.
The other intervention of the VAR on the 12th day took place in the Metropolitano. The technology ruled that the goal disallowed by João Félix for offside should go up to the scoreboard since the Portuguese was in a legal position. The VAR did not enter in another action that Atlético claimed, a possible penalty from Carvalho to De Paul.
VAR interventions that conditioned the sign
Betis 1 – Cádiz 1 (Without VAR, 1-0)
Rui Silva penalty on Lozano. Negredo threw it and it stopped Rui SIlva, who had both feet in front of the line. It is seen by the VAR and it is repeated. Negredo brand.
Granada 1 – Valencia 1 (2-1)
Montoro’s goal annulled by the VAR for offside.
Levante 1 – Ray 1 (0-1)
The VAR warns of a hand within the Ciss area, although the Ray claimed a previous foul. Alberola Rojas sees her and points out a penalty. Roger transforms it.
Elche 1 – Celta 0 (1-1)
The referee goes to the monitor and cancels Aspas’s goal for helping his arm to score.
Athletic 2 – Villarreal 1 (1-1)
The VAR warns of a penalty from Alberto Moreno on Vencedor for stepping on his foot. He points it out and Muniain transforms it.
Atlético 2 – Sevilla 2 (1-2)
Entry from behind Merino to Luis Suárez that prevents him from finishing. Munuera indicates the maximum penalty. Luis Suárez transforms it.
Alavés 1 – Elche 0 (1-1)
A goal from Carrillo, who was ahead, but the ball bounced off Lejeune. The VAR recommends reviewing the review considering that that offside should be penalized, since it understands that the Alavés player does not try to play the ball. Gil Manzano, after seeing the repetition on the scoreboard, decides to cancel it.
Mallorca 1 – Seville 1 (1-2)
Ocampos goal annulled by the VAR for a previous hand of Fernando.
Levante 2 – Athletic 2 (1-2)
