Atlético de Madrid falls to Villarreal due to controversial penalty
In the Liga EA Sports match of the 21st round between Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal at the Metropolitano stadium, the colchonero team suffered a controversial penalty. In the 28th minute, Witsel failed to clear the ball well, which fell to Gerard Moreno’s feet.
Reinildo tried to prevent the goal opportunity, but ended up generating a penalty that Sánchez Martínez signaled from the first moment. From television, a dubious play was seen in which the Atlético de Madrid player touched the ball and almost at the same time prevented the Villarreal striker from continuing to play.
The fact is that from the VAR they did not reach to warn the referee to go see the action on the monitor. Gerard Moreno had no problem scoring the first goal of the match, despite Jan Oblak guessing the intention of the Castellón striker.
