Elche explodes against the referee and VAR for a phantom goal

At first glance it seemed the stoppage of the day by Cillessen shot by Guido Carrillo but Elche claimed a goal from the Argentine that would have been the draw against Valencia (2-1). Neither the referee Jaime Latre, nor from the VOR room, González González, saw if the ball completely crossed the entire goal line.

All of Elche claimed the phantom goal. The club exploded in social networks for him, in his opinion, a serious mistake suffered in Valencia. “A new referee / VAR error conditions the week’s work and prevents us from scoring. Proud of this team”, figure in the message.

It was not the only message that set social networks on fire. “With everything and against everything! Proud of my team”, Gonzalo Verdú wrote. Pere Milla also claimed a goal from his teammate Carrillo: “With today’s technology there can be no question.”

Lack of goal technology in LaLiga

By not having goal technology (hawk eye) in Spanish LaLiga, it was not possible to verify whether the ball completely crossed the goal line. Iturralde González, analyst at AS and Carrusel Deportivo de la SER, explained the move. “It is not clear if it is inside or outside with a photo. Elche has the right to protest, but why don’t they put a hawk’s eye? The licenses are held by FIFA but LaLiga does not want to pay FIFA for the hawk eye patent “.
