Very soon the referee De Burgos Bengoetxea had to intervene in the Barcelona-Osasuna match. It was the 13th minute of the game when a long ball from Busquets into the visiting area was chased by Gavi, who was overwhelmed inside the area by Osasuna defender Nacho Vidal. The referee pointed to the penalty spot as soon as he saw the action.
For Iturralde Gonzalez, referee analyst of AS and of Sports Carousel of the SER, there are no doubts. De Burgos Bengoetxea is correct in his decision: “It’s a penalty. Nacho Vidal makes a penalty with his leg, down.”
Before, the referee ruled out a fall by Ferran Torres in the area where the culé soccer player left his leg to see if there was contact and he jumped.
At minute 55, a goal against Gerard Piqué was annulled to Pedri’s pass for clearly offside. This is how Iturralde González saw it, in Carousel: “For very little, but it’s offside.”
