The Villarreal-Real Madrid controversy: two penalties not awarded, one red ‘forgiven’ to Asensio…

Iturralde González, referee for AS and Cadena SER, analyzes in Sports Carousel the controversial plays of Villarreal-Real Madridmatch of the 24th day of LaLiga Santander refereed by Sánchez Martínez with Iglesias Villanueva in the VAR.

Possible penalty for Albiol elbowing Vinicius in the area (14′)

It’s a penalty, because Albiol gives himself away when he looks to the right and sees that Vinicius is coming. He goes to look for the contact. Ver has seen her because for the party, but she has seen her badly. You can’t protect the position with your elbow that high. It would be a reprimand, because it is not violent behavior; if the ball was carried by Vinicius it would have been a penalty and a red card. The intention does not exist in the regulations, the question is how you enter, “said Iturralde in Carousel.” It hits him in the face: penalty and warning, “he adds.

Shot by Carvajal to Lo Celso (23′)

“If the referee considers that it is a throwing fault, in which he considers that Carvajal intends to give him a red card, but only Carvajal knows that. Sánchez Martínez has left the game since Albiol’s move. If you throw the ball with the intention of hitting the player, it is a penalty and expulsion. For me he is going to attack him, but only Carvajal knows that. That is why the intention has been removed from the regulations”, explains Iturralde. In the compilation of the controversial moves he made during the break, Iturralde added: “This is the move in which I have the most doubts. It is a very judgmental play, from the arbitration school. If you think that he only throws the ball to send it to a corner, then nothing; but if you think he throws the ball with the desire to attack, red and penalty”.

Yellow card to Asensio for a foul on Iborra (29′)

It’s red because it goes up to the ankle. It is a clear move by VAR and he has to call him”, Iturralde sentences.

“In yellow it’s safe. It’s more that it pushes him away than it hits him. The VAR can’t call him because he’s not in red,” Iturralde explained.
