Not just in Brazil: VAR overlooks shocking stamp in Spain 😱 | OneFootball

Refereeing has been a source of CONTROVERSY in 2025. But... It’s not just in Brazil that refereeing and VAR are targets of criticism.

In Spain, VAR simply ignored an ABSURD stomp on the back of a player who was lying on the ground.

The incident happened in Leganés 1 x 2 Burgos, in the Spanish second division.

Midfielder Diawara, from Leganés, jumped over Curro, but stretched out his leg and hit his opponent squarely.

The Spanish press described it as a "straight red card incident."

VAR, however, didn’t see it—or considered it a "normal play" and chose not to call the referee over to review the play.

In La Liga 2, Racing, Almería, Burgos, and Las Palmas are the top teams.

The top two are promoted directly. And four teams (from third to sixth) go to the playoffs to decide the OTHER promotion spot.
