Mallorca won the Gran Canaria stadium with a goal from an indirect free kick in the 92nd minute. Mojica scored it, with a brilliant shot into the top corner, and he did so almost five minutes after the seed of a never-before-seen play was sown.
It all starts with a header from Muriqi that Cillessen stopped. Mata, who was hot, blamed the Kosovar for not scoring and began to say a series of expletives that provoked a reaction from the Mallorca striker. Comb-shaped reaction. Pizarro Gómez saw it on the VAR and called Muñiz Ruiz to review the play
The match referee then decided to caution Killsend off Muriqi and signal an indirect free kick. A very controversial decision: «Regulations and being very strict, one could say that everything is correct, but common sense tells us, being an action not seen by the referee, that the VAR “I shouldn’t have intervened,” says Martínez Montoro, the ABC referee. «I am bewildered. I hope that during the week they explain the play to us. “It’s the first time I’ve seen it,” said Diez Martínez in the post-match interview.
The regulation says that “a indirect free kick if a player acts in disapproval by using offensive, insulting or humiliating language or behavior, or committing other verbal offences. And, regarding Muriqi’s unexpected expulsion, the regulations state that “using language or acting in an offensive, insulting or humiliating manner.”
