what happened there yesterday Leganes-Valladolid The second-division match ended in a 3-0 victory on home soil, but required intervention three times. VAR. Two of them also included Jose Antonio López Toca in the VOR room, called by Manuel Jesús Orellana Cid for two consecutive penalties immediately after the start of the game.

The first incident occurred five minutes into the match, following a handball by Iván Alejo in the area that was not initially seen by the referee. That’s when he received a notification from VAR. “Manuel, would you recommend a review so that we can assess the possibility of a penalty for handball?” When he got to the monitor, he said, “Okay, it looked perfect. Make it dynamic, Jose, I already saw him shake hands.” From the VOR, they provided him with another camera “also from behind the goal.” Once there was no doubt in the vision, he said, “OK, perfect, we’re going to restart with a penalty, OK, Jose.”

The penalty was taken by Juan Cruz, but it was cleared by Valladolid goalkeeper Guilherme. However, as the Leganés striker attempted to grab the rebound, he was tackled from behind by Jaouab and was brought down, receiving another warning from the VOR. “Manuel recommends a review so we can assess the possibility of a penalty. Please let us know when you get to the screen.”

In the background, a voice can be heard shouting “Out, Mr. Out” as the referee reaches the monitor. And he stood in front of it and he said, “Okay, Jose, it’s on the screen. One second, one second. Okay, I want to see the number of the guy who’s doing that…Okay, yes, it’s very clear.” And he claimed, “I want to know this player’s number, because it’s yellow, so who’s going to penalize it?” From VAR they confirm, “Yes, we understand, number 23.” To which the referee replied: “Okay, number 23, perfect. We’ll restart with a penalty and a yellow card, understand Jose?”

VOR is wrong about Guilherme

And the final intervention occurred in the 89th minute of the match as a result of Valladolid goalkeeper Guilherme leaving the area in an attempt to put Naim ahead. The referee directly punished him with a red card, but because they understood that it was not a sending off, again from the VOR: “Manu, we recommend that you reconsider so that we can assess the cancellation of the red card, okay?” Arriving in front of the monitor, López Toca requests to be shown the moment from VAR, López Toca explains from VAR. “Okay, look, I thought the reason I called you was because the goalie touched the ball. Okay, first of all, the impact is the lower back. You evaluate that and make the decision that you think is appropriate.”

The referee replied, “Okay, let’s see. I know how he touches the ball. I’d like to see how he moves.” They don’t let go of the ball, so the referee asks, “I want to see the touch of the ball, see how it moves when it touches the ball, etc.”

They then provided him with the images, but he requested that the camera be brought closer to him. “Let’s look a little further back, Jose, a little more back.” And then he understood: “All right, he touched the ball. All right, again, all right. All right, Jose, what I saw was that he obviously touched the ball. It’s true that the contact came later. I’ve never played rough. It’s not even a foul for me. All right, I’ll pick up where I dropped the ball. All right, because to me it’s not even a foul. All right, Jose.”
