Two goals canceled against Madrid

Espanyol-Real Madrid had two goals annulled against the white team for offside. In both cases, Cuadra Fernández invalidated the goals at the request of his assistant without the need for the VAR to intervene, where De Brugos Bengoetxea was, except to ratify the primary decision of the Balearic.

In the 67th minute, with 2-0 in the mail, Benzema scored when he was assisted by Jovic, who was in an illegal position at the time of receiving the ball that he prolonged for the French. “Jovic was offside,” Iturralde González agreed., referee of AS and Cadena SER, in the live broadcast of the Sports Carousel.

A similar situation occurred in the 84th minute. It was not the author of the shot, Hazard, but his assistant, Karim Benzema, who was offside, in an action that could lead to a draw (the game was 2-1). “Benzema is in an offside position. He is one of the easy ones,” commented Iturralde in the Carousel of the SER. We only had to wait for the VAR to once again ratify the decision made in the first instance by Cuadra Fernández at the request of his assistant.
