Cobe: Real Madrid vs. Royal Society s VAR referee will not be suspended at least this week

According to Kobe Radio, the VAR referee of Real Madrid vs. Real Club will not be suspended at least this week and will continue to serve as the VAR referee of Celta vs. Girona.

Although he defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 away, Real Madrid was extremely dissatisfied with the penalty he encountered. The reasons include the goal cancelled due to offside in the second minute due to a millimeter-level offside, especially when Heysen was sent off with a controversial red card before halftime. The referee on duty is Hill Manzano, and the referee of VAR is Figueroa Vasquez.

This penalty made Xavi Alonso extremely angry. He even told Hill Manzano: "I don't want this, but you have to think about it badly."

At that time, the long pass was looking for Oyasawar. Heysen made a mistake in judgment and the ball passed him. Heysen finally pulled the opponent to prevent him from advancing to the penalty area. The referee showed the red card directly without hesitation. Real Madrid angrily defended that Militon was able to catch up with the ball nearby, and that Oyazabala was in a side position rather than facing the goal directly. However, VAR referee Figueroa Vasquez did not correct the penalty and maintained the red card decision.

There were previously speculations that the VAR referee might be suspended, but it was revealed that this was not the case. Figueroa Vazquez will also serve as VAR referee for Celta vs Girona. On Monday, the referee technical committee will review the penalty and make a decision, but the technical committee has informed Figueroa Vasquez that the referee's on-site decision should be respected for such disputed penalties, and he did exactly that.
