Football – First Division

Hours earlier, Florentino Pérez had asked to “radically change the arbitration structure”

BarcelonaThe Competition Committee leaves without effect the sanction of a match resulting from the red card that Vinícius Júnior received at Mestalla due to an attack on Hugo Duro in the middle of Sunday’s Valencia-Madrid match. The Brazilian forward, who minutes earlier had received racist insults from a section of the stands, left the pitch applauding the referee and sending the fans in the Second Division.

The state communicated the decision late on Tuesday and after Florentino Pérez, white president, made some statements to urge “radical change” in the arbitration structure. Vinícius, therefore, will be able to play this afternoon at the Bernabéu against Rayo Vallecano. It is hoped that his fans will console him after everything he experienced a few days ago in Valencia.

“This committee considers it credible that the assessment of the member (De Burgos Bengoetxea) was determined by the omission of the entirety of what happened, a fact that vitiated to root the arbitral decision. The fact that a determining part of the facts was stolen from him led him to make an arbitrary decision, since it was impossible for him to adequately assess everything that happened,” argues Competicio. In other words, the organization is responsible indirectly the realization of the VAR of the disciplinary measure that the field referee took In fact, Iglesias Villanueva responsible for video refereeing, will no longer officiate any more matches this season.

They partially close Mestalla because of the racist shouts at Vinícius

On the other hand, the Anti-Violence Commission decreed the partial closure of Mestalla due to the racist shouts. The Kempes stand, which is located in the north goal of the Valencia stadium, will remain closed for the next five matches that Pipo Baraja’s team plays as a home team. The sanction will drag on next season and is a before and after in the fight to eradicate racism in football. Apart from that, Valencia will have to pay a fine of 45,000 euros for the events.
