MADRID, 23 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Competition Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) closed this Tuesday for five games one of the stands of the Mestalla Stadium due to the incidents last Sunday against Real Madrid and also left without effect the red card shown to Vinícius Jr.
“The Competition Committee has sanctioned Valencia CF with the partial closure of Mestalla for five games, more specifically the Mario Kempes south stand, after the events that occurred during the First Division National League Championship match between the local team and the Real Madrid CF”, pointed out the RFEF.
According to the organization, “it is considered proven that, as the referee reflected in his minutes, there were racist shouts at Vinícius” during this match, “altering the normal development of it and considering the infractions very serious.”
“Once the exceptional seriousness of the events referred to in the factual background of this resolution, the number of chants uttered and their openly racist nature have been assessed, in application of the provisions of Articles 51 and 76.2.b) and d), the imposition of a sanction of partial closure of the sports venue for a period of five games and a pecuniary sanction for an amount of 45,000 euros is considered appropriate and proportionate “, reflected Competition in its resolution.
On the other hand, after the allegations presented by the Madrid team against the expulsion for direct red shown by Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea to the Brazilian winger, Competition decided to withdraw it, so he can play this Wednesday against Rayo Vallecano.
Real Madrid alleged everything that happened to the player during this campaign in various games, the insults he was subjected to, that the referee received a “biased” image from the VAR where it is not appreciated that Hugo Duro held him by the neck ” with imminent risk of suffocation” and “the irregularity of the existence of two successive minutes”.
“In the case at hand, we understand that there is an extraordinary, serious and totally unusual circumstance, which determines in our opinion that the decision adopted by the Collegiate reflected in the
The act that is being examined here incurs in a patent arbitrariness, since it is adopted on an altered and partial factual basis, which has determined that it incurs in a manifest lack of validity to base a sanction on it,” said Competition.
This also proved “that the assessment of the referee was determined by the omission of the entire set that occurred”, which affected his decision. “In effect, the fact that a determining part of the facts was stolen led him to adopt an arbitrary decision,” he said.
“And this because it was impossible for him to adequately assess what happened, because in the procedure necessary for the adoption of such a decision, an essential procedure would have been omitted so that it could have been legitimately and legally adopted,” added Competition. .
