In Valladolid-Elche he was decisive in the sign, since the pucelanos would have taken the three points if it had not been canceled Weissman's goal by previous hand. En Nesyri's previous hand was also noted in Ximo Navarro's own goal. The VAR was also decisive in the sign of the Villarreal-Granada match. The Submarine reaped a point thanks to the penalty reviewed in Foulquier's monitor on Pedraza and that would transform Moi Gómez. With the intervention of the VAR, another was whistled by Yan Eteki on Pino, but Rui Silva guessed Alcácer's intentions.
