Ignacio Iglesias Villanueva, the referee who commanded the VAR in Valencia vs Real Madrid and recommended the expulsion of Vinicius Júnior amid racist acts, will be dismissed from the Spanish Football Federation. The information is from As.
What happened
The newspaper said that Villanueva and five other professionals will be fired of the federation’s framework.
The referee was responsible for calling the field judge to analyze the Valencia x Real Madrid confusion on video — Vini was attacked after suffering racist attacks and tried to get rid of a rear-naked choke by Hugo Duro.
The images shown to Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, however, only showed the moment when the Brazilian hits his rival in the face in return. Villanueva considered that the Real Madrid athlete’s act was subject to expulsion and ignored the Valencia player’s action.
The arbitration commission was irritated precisely by the omission of part of the confusionand there was internal discomfort with the professional’s posture.
As said that Villanueva will still work on Betis vs Getafe because he was previously scheduled. The match, however, will be his last in the federation’s framework.
racism and revolt
Valencia fans shouted ‘Mono’ (monkey, in literal translation) for the Brazilian at 15 minutes of the second half of yesterday’s duel (22), for the 35th round of the Spanish Championship. Vini quickly argued with some fans, but the match continued.
The game was stopped about ten minutes later with the recurrence of the racist offense. The stadium announcer asked that the chants be stopped under threat of the game being suspended.
Next, the Brazilian identified the fan who committed the racist act. He, however, was again insulted by Valencia fans when he took satisfaction.
Vini was still expelled at the end of the game after widespread confusion with opposing players. Goalkeeper Mamardashvili argued with the Brazilian, who took a rear-naked choke from Duro in the turmoil.
