18th minute of the match. The real loses 1-0, in a move that surely unnerved Imanol since it would be perfectly studied, as Mojica’s raises are one of Elche’s great attacking arguments. Sorloth receives a long ball from Merino, enters the area, and is apparently shot down by a center back from Elche.. The truth is that there is no image that confirms the contact, although the referee was close and did not hesitate, while Roco did not protest too much either (by far the least, for something it would be…), so it should not be ruled out that it was the typical maximum sentence that was signaled by ear. As it happened on Monday against Espanyol. The Norwegian took the ball and while he waited for him to check the var, he laughed as he listened to the complaints of the local defenders. The royalist acted as if he was going to be the one to throw to protect Isaac and that he did not lose concentration. Nothing different from those who lived in front of them. The Swede takes a run, walks slowly and when he reaches the moment of hitting he realizes that the goalkeeper has caught his intention and as he advances so slowly he has time to make a paradinha and change the direction of his transformation with the goalkeeper already beaten. Cuadra Fernández, well he is, he doesn’t think about it at any time and decrees foul against Real and also admonishes Isak.
It is fair to recognize that with the regulations in hand and as Andoni Otxotorena explained on Twitter, the braid applies rule 14.2, which dictates that you can make a feint in the race, not once it has finishedthat is, in the last step.

Okay, well, that’s the theory. But the practice is since this rule was implemented in 2010, it is the first time that an arbitrator applies it. That is to say, nobody believes that for 12 years there has been no footballer who has committed such an infraction, so it is obvious that they normally prefer to wash their hands, since they are not the footballers who have specialized in the paradinha. Can you imagine that Benzema, Suárez or Memphis would be made to repeat it? Well no. One thing is the regulation and another, very different, the one applied by the referees.
no one forgets that In the 2002-03 campaign, that of the runner-up, Real, began like a lightning bolt and saw how they stopped the goalkeeper in Vitoria, who could have had a maximum of six seconds and was exceeded by only one. Coincidentally or not, the braid on duty was Megia Davila, who today does not hide his madridismo and hugs his players on the same pitch as the referee delegate. We do not forget either that, coincidentally or not, he was in charge of refereeing Celta-Real on the penultimate day in which Denoueix’s team fell and served the title on a platter to the team he loves. Chance
But don’t miss it Stable Fernandez had a playful day in Elche and He put in the minutes that he admonished Imanol Alguacil for leaving a few meters from the technical area. One imagines that Simeone, Lopetegui, will accumulate sanctions because there are not a few times that, it is not that they leave their zone, it is that they even enter the field without any shame. a pity, because the reprimand stains an immaculate resume of Imanol who has always had a respectful, understanding and supportive relationship with the referees. But well, you already know that it was surely by chance. So brave with some, and so cowardly with others…
