For Iturralde, Pathé Ciss's hand that condemned Fuenlabrada “is not a penalty”

In the 91st minute of Depor-Fuenlabrada, Hugo Vallejo entered the area, shot on goal and the ball hit Pathé Ciss's arm. Colegiago Díaz de Mera, after checking the VAR video scoreboard, points out a penalty. Beauvue launched it from eleven meters and made it 2-1 in the 95th minute, with which Fuenlabrada was left out of the promotion playoff. However, the referee of As y la Ser, Iturralde González, considers that this action should not have been sanctioned.

“For me neither of the two possible hands in the play is not a penalty. That the ball hits the hand is clear, but at no time do you want to get big. The last day in the first division (at Leganés) and in the second division (at Fuenlabrada) there have been hand plays where for me they have not hit the whistle. It seems that the new guidelines want to make all hands punishable, “Iturralde said.
