Figueroa Vázquez replaces Hernández Hernández in VAR for Atlético-Mallorca
Atlético de Madrid will face Mallorca this Saturday at 18:30 hours at the Metropolitano with a change of VAR referee. Hernández Hernández, initially designated, has been replaced by Figueroa Vázquez due to medical leave.
This change comes in a week marked by criticism from Mallorca coach Jagoba Arrasate and some of his players, who have felt disadvantaged in the last games against Villarreal and Betis in some decisions not taken from the VAR.
The Mallorcan fans feel disadvantaged by seeing that dubious plays in their favor are not reviewed, while those against are. Figueroa Vázquez’s record with Mallorca before becoming a specific VAR referee is being closely watched on the island, as the balance in 23 games directed at Mallorca is 3 wins, 3 draws and 17 losses.
