If the first-half of the Barça-Espanyol had been something boring, especially for the culés, the second began more movidita of the expected. So much, that Ansu Fati lasted four minutes on the terrain of game when being expelled with direct red card, of the same form that Pol Lozano in the Espanyol (although the 'perico' himself had played during all the first time).
The case is that both entrances very dangerous, to Calero and Hammered respectively, propiciaron that the González Strong warned from the VAR to the referee of the party, because of the gravity of two actions that could have finish in injury of operating theatre. And it is that so much Ansu like Lozano went in to the height of the tibia, and in the case of the Barcelona defender had the leg nailed in the flat.
Regarding Ansu Fati, finish to go in to the field in replacement of Semedo and in the first action raised the foot in excess, touching first the balloon but afterwards hitting in the leg of the player 'parakeet'. The Andalusian referee showed him first the yellow, and to instances of the VAR was to see the images, taking the decision of his expulsion.
They had not happened neither three minutes, in the 52', when another played violent of a player of the Espanyol finish with a second expulsion. The one of Pol Lozano, by a plantillazo to Hammered, ran the same luck. Yellow card cancelled, red cardboard and to the street.
This time the VAR acted with justice
The players of Barça and Espanyol protested both actions when it gave the case, but the reality is that the VAR acted properly this time and the two expulsions were deserved, further that the one of Ansu Fati went in a balloon divided and the one of Pol Lozano was something clearer.
The two were susceptible of lesionar to the player receptor of the entrance, so the referees acted with justice on the lawn of the Camp Nou. Equality of conditions, with ten men for each team, hardly some minutes before Luis Suárez premièred the marker in a played with some that another rebound, in the interior of the area of Diego López. Goal and three vital points for the Barça... And mortal for the Espanyol.
