The derby of the Spanish capital witnessed a controversial scene, during the match that Atletico Madrid won against Real Madrid with a goal without a response.
The owner of the stadium, Atlético, received a penalty kick in the 37th minute, after fouling “Matthew Cunha” inside the penalty area, and after referring to the video technology, the penalty was confirmed in favor of the Brazilian player.
Replays showed that Real defender Jesus Vallejo ran over the Atleti striker’s foot, allowing Carrasco to score the game’s only goal.
The refereeing expert for the Spanish newspaper “Marca”, “Perez Borol”, did not agree with the opinion of the referee of the confrontation, and said in his opinion: “It is not a penalty, and running over is not enough to move to the video assistant referee.”
Then he added: “The contact was very slight, he barely touched his foot, and this is not enough to drop any player, so the Atleti player is the one who deliberately falls, and he did not have any chance to reach the ball.”
