The poster for this clash between two teams tied in the standings looked good, both daring and eager to offer an interesting evening of football. Those of Get lost They were out plugged in and two minutes later Muriqi, with the whole objective at hand, he sent the ball into the legs of Aguirrezabala, perhaps because of overconfidence. The opportunity was so clear.
It must have been the referee, incredible that he wears a FIFA cockade – this is how Spanish refereeing is presided over by Medina Cantalejo-, the one who decided depriving the public present in the stadium and the television viewers of a good match. In an action close to the halfway line and almost on the wing, Samouat ground level, take a ball Galarreta who, in his attempt to avoid contact, suffers a blow to the calf of his right leg due to the momentum of the defender. An obvious foul, but not a card, which the referee shows immediately and even consults the VAR in case the defender deserves a more severe sanction. The images show the opposite, but the referee does not withdraw the warning. Not only that, but a few minutes later another foul, yes, between the same protagonists, serves to reiterate the yellow card that leaves Mallorca with ten and more than an hour of play ahead of them.
We had to adapt to the landscape drawn by the braid. Mascarell came in for Larin to occupy the position of the expelled and the host had no choice but to close ranks and grit their teeth to resist the harassment of the lions who, certainly, roared a lot, but remained with desire and claws. Okay, Mallorca didn’t go beyond midfield, but Athletic only felt the goal on a shot from Nico Williams from outside the area who found the crossbar on his deadly path. At this time, the 81st minute had passed, and the red and white attackers, yesterday in light blue outfits, had not opened a single hole in the red stone wall, without cracks or fissures.
On the sides Maffeo and Mojica surpassed the Williams brothers, resigned to the side centers with an advantage for Rilloimmeasurable and Valjent, prodigious, without concessions to the gallery. The soda refills came from the Balearic bank and more wood came from the visitor. All efforts were in vain. The Solomonic injustice of the empathetic judge towards the strongest was dictated by the justice of other authorities in favor of the weakest.
