Overview

  • VAR recommended an on-field check after Costa struck defender Urko's foot before the shot that led to the goal.
  • Referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea reviewed the footage and upheld the goal, a decision the CTA deemed erroneous.
  • The committee stated the correct outcome was a foul by the Mallorca midfielder and a caution for reckless play.
  • The incident produced Mallorca's 1-1 equalizer in a game they won 2-1, extending Espanyol's winless run to 11 matches.
  • The conclusion was issued in the CTA's weekly Tiempo de revisión segment, with president Fran Soto acknowledging the mistake and no indication of a result change or immediate sanctions.
