Vinicius Junior will not be punished after his red card at Valencia-Real Madrid in Mestalla. The RFEF Competition Committee, after meeting for seven hours, has decided to leave without disciplinary effects, the expulsion of the Brazilian player once the allegations and the videographic and graphic evidence provided by Real Madrid have been seen. The resolution, signed by Carmen Pérez González, states her position that the arbitration ruling is “adopted on an altered and partial factual basis” and “incurs in a manifest lack of validity to base a sanction on it.” For Competition, the fact that Iglesias Villanueva, responsible for the VAR in Mestalla, did not show the entire sequence to De Burgos Bengoetxea “it vitiated the arbitral decision”.
“The referee’s appreciation was determined by the omission of the entire event that occurred, which vitiated the arbitration decision. Indeed, the fact that a determining part of the facts was stolen led him to adopt an arbitrary decision. And it was impossible for him to adequately assess what happened, because in the procedure necessary for the adoption of such a decision, an essential step would have been omitted so that it could have been legitimately and legally adopted ”, Justifies Competition.
Real Madrid alleged everything that happened to the player this season in various games, the insults he was subjected to, that the referee received a “biased” image from the VAR where it is not appreciated that Hugo Duro held him by the neck “with imminent risk of suffocation” and “the irregularity of the existence of two successive acts.”
Thus, Competition has addressed the allegations of Real Madrid. From the white entity they demanded explanations about the images that they showed De Burgos Bengoetxea in which Vinicius is seen hitting Hugo Duro, but they did not understand or understand that from the VAR they did not show him the entire previous sequence in which the Valencian player grabbed from the neck to the Brazilian. Precisely, the RFEF has charged Iglesias Villanueva, responsible for the VAR of Mestalla, for the next season and also for Betis-Getafe on this day, the match for which he was appointed. De Burgos Bengoetxea was only shown the images in which Vinicius is seen hitting Hugo Duro, biasing the origin of all this action.
As Burgos Bengoetxea had reflected in the Valencia-Real Madrid minutes, the reason for the red card for Vinicius was for “hitting an opponent in the face with his arm when the ball was not in play, in a massive confrontation between players from both teams. The opposing player did not have to be treated.
Real Madrid had Vinicius absent for this match against Rayo Vallecano this Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabéu. In fact, the Brazilian had a rest day and did not train in Valdebebas along with the rest of his teammates. But if Ancelotti has him, he will be able to play.
