Referees’ committee admits two missed penalties on matchday 26 | OneFootball

According to AS, Spain’s refereeing committee reviewed two contentious incidents from matchday 26 and concluded penalties should have been awarded at Son Moix and Mestalla.

Mallorca v Real Sociedad: Mallorca appealed for a penalty for a hold by Zubeldia on Muriqi inside the area, but nothing was given.

Under the committee’s criteria, obvious holding is a penalty and, when the ball is not being contested, it is DOGSO with a red card. The action was judged a clear, punishable grab, so it should have been a penalty and a dismissal, and the VAR ought to have intervened.

Valencia v Osasuna: The second case concerned a handball by Jorge Herrando in the box after a shot from Ramazani, which neither the referee nor VAR penalised.

Under its handball guidance, support-hand contact is penalised when an arm opens out into an unnatural space. In this instance the arm was deemed too extended, away from the body and blocking the ball, so a penalty should have been awarded and the VAR should have stepped in.
