Controversy with VAR! Djené touches the ball and Gil Manzano gives a penalty

VAR made its presence known again in a controversial passage of play. On the brink of half-time, Gil Manzano blew for a penalty after a challenge from Djené on Yangel Herrera inside the box.

Djené, in the play, touched the ball and then Yangel Herrera. It was this latter action that the referee blew for, who waited for the verification from VAR to give validity to the penalty.

The Getafe CB, calm, explained to Gil Manzano that he touched the ball, a passage of play that seen in the replay was clear. But Medié Jiménez didn't rectify the decision given by the referee.

Looking incredulous, the Getafe players saw how Ángel Montoro did not waste the gift and made it 0-1 just before the break.
