As soon as the referee raised the Espanyol-Atlético poster, the controversy: 10 'added. The game, at 100. At that time, 1-1. Espanyol would be very long (in fact the club complained in a tweet, for that addition), Atleti served to win. An added time that, clock in hand, touched. Five and a half minutes in the VAR review of Lemar's annulled goal, plus another explanation, plus the changes, plus Melendo on the ground, plus the hydration break. The referee's clock counted and counted and then added. It is not the first time that Atleti this League has a game more than one hundred.
It already happened to him on the 1st day, in Balaídos, also exceeded that time, although the addition in principle was seven. Atlético was winning 1-2 and suffered a siege from Celta at that time, which sought a tie by land, sea and air. The rojiblancos survived. That at the beginning of that discount, he tried to waste a lot of time with game stops (Carrasco, for example, was booked for losing time in 92 ').
But Celta boxed the rojiblancos, the eleven locked in their field clearing centers and balls. With a change and a tangana, in which Hugo Mallo and Hermoso were expelled, the referee's clock, as against Espanyol, counted every minute of that discount that was discounted. And the minute 97 arrived and the referee did not take the whistle to his mouth. The match would exceed 100. With Atlético struggling. He took out a ball under sticks. On the last play, Fontán sent a deflected span a final shot.
