Iturralde, on Isak’s blunder: “We have to praise the speed of Cuadra Fernández”

The Elche-Royal Society He has left a curious sequence: Isak took a penalty in the 20th minute of the game, when his team was losing 1-0, he converted it, but the referee annulled it and booked him. The reason is because Cuadra Fernández, from the Balearic Committee, he saw the ‘paradinha’ that the Swede made just before taking the penalty, something that is prohibited. That maneuver from 11 meters has cost him a yellow card and the ball for Elche. Iturralde González, head referee of AS and sports carousel, praise the referee’s decision: “We have to praise the speed of Cuadra Fernández, because they are plays that are not usually given. He is very much alive, congratulations to him. It is indirect free and warning. Once you have taken the last step to hit the penalty, you cannot do any feint or ‘paradinha’. Isak is running and the last step of him with his right foot can’t make that paradinha “.

According to article 14 of the IFAB, “a penalty will be annulled and the match will be resumed with an indirect free kick and a warning to the executor when there is an illegal feint”. Therefore, at the moment in which a player finishes the race to kick a penalty, he will not be able to make the paradinha, that is, suddenly reduce his speed, to mislead the goalkeeper. You can do feints, zigzgas and others… but not the ‘parandinha’, as established by the rules of the game.
