Celta has played outnumbered from minute 63 at Mestalla. Goalkeeper Rubén Blanco has seen the direct red card by referee Pizarro Gómez after knocking down Valencian player Maxi Gómez when he was about to enter the area. A very doubtful action, as the goalkeeper barely touched the foot of the Uruguayan forward on his departure
The play, which took place in the 60th minute, was not sanctioned in the first instance by the referee, but after being notified from the VAR room, Pizarro Gómez went to the band to see the action on the monitor. It was then that he rectified his first decision, showing Rubén the red one.
Facundo Ferreyra has been the player chosen by ‘Chacho’ Coudet to leave the pitch and thus introduce substitute goalkeeper Iván Villar.
