Why might Getafe’s complaint be timely?

Yesterday we told the MD that Getafe did not file a complaint for the change of Asensio on Saturday against Getafe. And no complaints because at 2:00 pm yesterday, Tuesday, the term ended first to show allegations for misalignment.

However, in this case it turns out that there is an extraordinary circumstance that can be enabled and that also explains why Getafe waited this Wednesday to present it when initially out of time. And this is the truth Last Monday was a holiday in Madrid capital when celebrating the pleasure of San Isidro.

Considering this situation, Getafe is within the authorized deadlines to present the complaint for this change of Asensio and the possible incorrect alignment.

He article 26 of the Disciplinary Code of the RFEF, regarding the hearing process, states the following:

“Said right may be exercised within a period expiring at 2:00 pm on second business day after the party in question, moment where they must act in the secretariat of the disciplinary body the allegations either claims that they are formed; In the case of meetings held on a day other than a weekend, the time period shall be understood to be reduced by twenty-four hours, that is, until 2:00 pm on the next business day.”

In this case, considering that the first day after the match is Sunday (non-business day) and the second, San Isidro Monday (non-business day in Madrid), the second business day is this wednesday.

As we explained last Sunday in MD, rule 3 of the International Board Rules of the Game says the following about the substitution procedure: “Substitutions shall be effective when the replacement enters the field of play; Since, the withdrawing player becomes the substitute player, and the replacement becomes a player, so he can continue playing.”

Although odriozola is on the field of play, the key for Martínez Munuera to allow Camavinga to replace, is the fact that the Balearic player has not left the field of play. When he did, they realized the French player’s condition and allowed Camavinga to leave the field. It also means the fifth and final change. What the Valencia referee can do is remind Odriozola for entering the field before leaving the player who has to retire from it.

But the azulón club, taking advantage of this same rule, understand that change has already taken place, after Asensio did not continue on the field of play throughout the elapsed time until the final whistle. Camavinga’s departure indicates that Real Madrid he kept ten which covered the quota of changes.

Now we will see what the Competition Committee is doing. The normal thing is that notify Real Madrid to present the resulting allegations and it will be then when he decides if there is misalignment or not. If so, Getafe will win the game 0-3 in addition to a fine of between 6,001 and 9,000 euros.
