Atlético de Madrid and Marbella play controversial Copa del Rey match
The match between Atlético de Madrid and Marbella in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey was filled with controversy. Both teams complained about the referee’s decisions, the Galician Muñiz Ruiz, in a match without VAR.
In the first half, Giuliano complained of a push in the area, but nothing was called. No foul was called in a fall by Diori in the second half. The most controversial play occurred in the 49th minute, when De Paul pressured Diori and stole the ball, but the referee disallowed the goal for an alleged handball by the Argentine.
