After a long-distance shot, Juanmi found the ball in the middle of the area while Gabriel Paulista lost his mark. Cádiz's number 9 was able to finish and define goalkeeper Oblak's left post and while he was celebrating, Cholo Simeone complained to the fourth referee for an infraction in the action of the goal.

The complaint was clear, they claimed that Juanmi pushed Gabriel and for that reason the VAR should have annulled the goal. Without a doubt, it is at the discretion of the referee team since it is a play of interpretation and that was the case, since they considered that the contact was too light to cancel it. However, they have not even called Pablo González to go review the play, which unleashed the anger of the colchoneros fans.
