In the early morning of April 18, Beijing time, the 32nd round of La Liga just ended a wonderful game, Atletico Madrid sat at home 2-1 penalty to kill Espanyol, which is the second time this season that The Spaniards lost 1-2 to Atletico. Of course, these two games are super long time, and the referee is also crazy to steal the scene.
So far this season, Espanyol is 11th in La Liga with 39 points, but it is 11 points ahead of the relegation zone, and the relegation situation is still very optimistic, while Atletico Madrid is fourth in La Liga with 57 points, but the pressure to fight for fourth is still not small.
Espanyol have won just one of their first 15 away la Liga games this season, including five draws and nine defeats, the only one being a win over Valencia, and espanyol's away games are extremely bad compared to their excellent home record. According to statistics, the last time Espanyol won at Atletico Madrid away was in May 2018, when they won the game 2-0.
In the 52nd minute of the second half of the match, Cunha provided an assist, Carrasco got rid of Vidal in the penalty area and scored with a right-footed shot, Atletico Madrid took the lead to break the deadlock 1-0, and the two substitutes scored for the team with only seven points. In the 69th minute, Dadel's long-range shot hit Condobia's hand, the referee made a yellow card award, and Condobia was also sent off the field because of the two yellows, and then De Thomas successfully scored a free kick to help the Spaniard return to a city 1-1, which was also his 15th goal in La Liga, and the highest goal scored by De Thomas in a single season in La Liga.
Five minutes passed in the final stoppage time, but the referee on duty did not sound the end of the whistle, in the 96th minute, Atletico Madrid drove a corner kick into the box, De Thomas appeared in the penalty area, the referee watched the VAR confirm and made a penalty. In the 99th minute, Carrasco scored and hit a penalty shot to help Atletico Madrid complete the whistle-blowing 2-1, and the 50,000 Atletico fans on the scene celebrated in an instant.
This plot is not the first time for the Spaniards, the battle in which the Spaniards sat at home against Atletico in September last year was exactly the same, when the second half of the stoppage time was 6 minutes, the referee did not sound the closing whistle, and finally in the 99th minute, LeMar scored the winning goal, also Atletico Madrid 2-1 whistle to kill espanyol.
This campaign, for whether De Thomas handball is caused by the discussion of fans, fans in the country generally think that the referee of this game is problematic, and said that this is another ugly game in which the referee decides the winner or loser, why continue to play after the stoppage time, this is obviously a misjudgment, and some fans think that the ball hits De Thomas's leggings and pops up, what do you think about it?
