The minutes were used up, but Real scored a goal in the 94 ', something they couldn't do after countless occasions. The txuri urdin went crazy celebrating both You
Normand, but the debutante Figueroa
Vazquez he put his hand to his ear. Gipuzkoa trembles, although within each realistic fan one already sensed where he was going to shoot Alberola
Red from the VOR room. Goal annulled to the Real by the hand of Aritz
Elustondo before You
Normand rivet the network Doménech. With the regulations on the table, action well annulled by the video-refereeing tool.
And it is that the regulation of football has changed again this summer. The International Football Association Board (IFAB) is the organization that is in charge of establishing or modifying the rules in football worldwide. It is made up of the four associations in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), which this summer have wanted to give football another twist. In this context, five have been the standards that have been affected. One of them that of the hands, which yesterday harmed the Real.
IFAB considers hand “any ball that hits an area of the arm below the armpit; while if it hits above that area it will be interpreted as shoulder”. The regulation goes further, since now hands are distinguished “in offensive and defensive phase”, understanding that an impact with the arm cannot be judged in the same way during an attack as in a defensive action. As of today and with the new regulations, any action that hits an arm and just after ends in a goal, must be annulled. This is how the standard explains it: “The accidental hand of an attacker or a teammate will only be signaled if the contact takes place immediately before scoring a goal or an obvious occasion.”. Some experts consider it absurd.
Canceled for being the previous action
Real's equalizing goal against Valencia is well annulled taking into account the regulations, since the ball hits below the right armpit of Aritz and immediately after You
Normand takes advantage of this situation to push the ball into the net and score the goal. If the action had been lengthened in some way, with several touches from a realistic or Valencian player, for example, and it had ended in the same way at the bottom of the meshes, the goal would have gone up to the scoreboard.
La Real protested a hypothetical penalty by the hand of Jason, which covers with the arm -and the body turned- the shot of the '10'. The IFAB has urged not to penalize defensive actions so much, so Figueroa Vázquez did not indicate a penalty. Soccer also changes.
