The Spanish Refereeing Committee (CTA) have admitted that Girona’s winning goal against Barcelona was wrongly awarded and the video assistant referee (VAR) who made this error has been “suspended.”
Somehow Barcelona were still level at 1–1 with Girona on Monday night when Claudio Echeverri started wiggling his way towards goal in the final five minutes. Jules Koundé stuck out a leg which the Manchester City loanee unmistakably trod on. Marc Bernal stopped playing to complain to on-pitch official César Soto Grado but Fran Beltrán kept his focus to fire in the game’s decisive goal.
