Why did the referee not count the penalty shootout scored by Alvarez in the Real Madrid goal?
To clarify, the violation of Alvarez would have passed on the referee and everyone had it not been for the presence of video technology that confirmed that the Real Madrid striker touched the ball twice and this is a violation in the football law punishing the cancellation of the goal in the penalty shootout as it happened, or an indirect free kick if it occurred during the implementation of a free or corner kick, a penalty kick or a goal kick during the match.
While Alvarez shot the ball, his balance was disturbed, and he slid and fired the ball with his right foot, so she touched his left foot, and this is a violation stipulated in the football law.
The analytical studio stated to the channel (BN Sports) that there are sensors inside the ball that told the referees that there were two times a ball from Alvarez, but analyst Mohamed Abu Trika confirmed their clarity without the sensors.
The European Football Association has not yet commented on the rare dialectical situation in football matches.
