The VAR avoids the improper alignment of Sporting

The VAR has prevented the improper alignment of Sporting right at the end of the game. In minute 96 the Valencian referee Ais Reig showed the second yellow card to sportinguista Javi Fuego for interpreting that he deflected a shot from visitor Alvaro García with his hand. At that time he indicated the maximum penalty in favor of Rayo but After checking the monitor, he modified his decision and took the card from Fuego because his arm was close to his body.

If the referee maintains that expulsion, the team of Mareo would have been left with only six men from the first team on the field and with the substitutions already produced. In this way, improper alignment would have occurred and Rayo Vallecano would have won the victory 0-3.

In minute 67 the local Carmona had been expelled and they stayed on the pitch three players with affiliate files (Gaspar Campos, Pablo García and Guillermo Rosas).

The Sporting coach, David Gallego, valued an action that could be fatal for his team: “I made the changes that I saw fit and I have run the risk of improper alignment if there was an expulsion. It's that simple ”.
