Referees Confirm Hoessen Red Card After Madrid Derby
The technical referees in Spain confirmed that the sending-off of Real Madrid defender Jesús Vallejo during the Madrid derby was correct, as video review showed that the player grabbed Atlético Madrid striker Diego Costa's arm without a chance to play the ball, warranting a red card. Conversely, the committee supported the decision not to send off Atlético Madrid's Lemar after his tackles on Real Madrid's Valverde and Romero, despite the tackle on Valverde posing great danger and should have resulted in a red card. This was an obvious mistake by the referee, who should have involved the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) to correct it. The decisions affirm that VAR acted correctly to ensure fairness in the match, which Atlético won 2-1. The loss left Real Madrid in fourth place in La Liga, six points behind league leaders Barcelona.
