Gallagher claims a penalty that is not given in Atlético-Sevilla
In the 42nd minute of the Atlético-Sevilla match, with a score of 1-2, the rojiblanco Gallagher stood alone against Fernández in a clear chance to score. The midfielder dribbled the goalkeeper, but ended up on the ground and barely managed to finish.
The referee, Arberola Rojas, did not signal a penalty and the VAR did not intervene. The former international referee Iturralde González opined that it did seem that the goalkeeper touched the Atlético player, but it was not enough to claim the VAR. The referee’s criteria is fundamental in these plays and Arberola Rojas does not usually enter into these plays.
