One of lime milk and another of sand: Penalti innocent of De Jong in the tie of the Real Sociedad

Although it is true that the FC Barcelona finish the first-half with optimism, thanks to the target of Frenkie of Jong to open the marker in the New Archangel of Córdoba, the true is that the culés -and especially Frenkie of Jong- trusted too much to the start of the second time. So much, that by fault of an innocent hand of the Dutch midfield player pitó a penalti that finish meaning the tie of the 'txuri urdin'.

Mikel Oyarzabal, an authentic specialist in this type of launchings, went the attendant to exert of 'hangman' of the Barça to the beginning of the second half, equalising the marker and doing that like this it kept until the term of the 90 minutes. And it is that the Barça, although it dominated more than the Basques on the lawn, was not able to mark a second goal in the statutory time that gave him the victory.

Regarding the validity of the penalti of Of Jong, can say that so much the referee like the VAR hit to the hour to signal it, since the Dutch took too much to the hour to separate the hand of the path of the balloon, when had time of leftovers to do it. Although it had it hit to the body, the touch with the hand diverted the path and understood that it was not haphazard, but intentional.

"It is penalti, Of Jong carried the arm despegado of the body and cut the path of the balloon that centred the Real", explained Barrenechea Montero, referee's analyst of 'MD'. Played clumsy of a Frenkie of Jong that was in all this Wednesday in the New Arcángel, participating actively in the game of the FC Barcelona and especially in the construction of the played offensive, exerting of 'all-terrain' and arriving with ease to both areas.

Of Jong, the big protagonist of the party

Shortly after the goal of Oyarzabal, gave another played in which Of Jong was leading. The Dutch fell in the area of the Real Sociedad and the Barça asked penalti, but Munuera Montero signalled fault of the Barcelona. Barrenechea Also saw clear that "the player of the Real advanced to Of Jong, touched the balloon before that he and the player of the Barça struck him, therefore there was not penalti but fault of Of Jong".

Tarpaulin of the referees, in this sense, although minutes afterwards Munuera Montero no pitó in the second half a very clear fault committed on the typical of Jong, that advanced in career until the aledaños of the rival area and was demolished. Except this error, that neither was too grave, can not criticise in demasía the performance of the referees.
