Real Madrid remains at the top of the table and does not lose advantage after beating Atlético in the derby. Sevilla continues second eight points; Betis, which is still on a roll, is third; and Atlético is fourth. Barcelona, which stumbled again (2-2 against Osasuna), remains in eighth position.
The VAR is still absent one more day. He was claimed by Elche in a phantom goal against Valencia, that with the television shots it was not possible to appreciate if the ball completely crossed the goal line or not. In Spain there is no scoring technology. At Osasuna-Barcelona, the intervention of the video referee was also called for to annul the second Barça goal and signal a previous penalty by Busquets by hand. But there was no infraction, the arm was in a natural position and there was nothing illegal.
VAR interventions that conditioned the sign
Betis 1 – Cádiz 1 (Without VAR, 1-0)

Granada 1 – Valencia 1 (2-1)
Montoro’s goal annulled by the VAR for offside.
Levante 1 – Ray 1 (0-1)

Alavés 1 – Elche 0 (1-1)
A goal from Carrillo, who was ahead, but the ball bounced off Lejeune.
