“As I think about football, it shouldn’t be a penalty, but in today’s football it is,” said the Osasuna coach. Jagoba Arrasate, about the action that allowed his team to draw 1-1 against Cádiz at the Nuevo Mirandilla stadium.
The Navarrese team equalized thanks to the maximum penalty awarded by the referee Martínez Munuera after being notified by VAR and going to the video, it is understood that an action in which Senegalese Momo Mbaye touched a ball with his outstretched hand deserved a penalty.
The coach of Osasuna insisted that “they saw in the photo that Chimy (Ávila) shot and hit Momo with an open hand”, that “the ball that does not go to the goal is an irrelevant hand, but in modern football they are whistle.”
On the other hand, the coach of the Navarrese team said in a press conference that “it is a very important point”, and admitted that “the first half was very crazy”, because “Cádiz was superior”.
“We drew, although in the last minutes we had to suffer,” he added about the overall balance of the match, in addition to also referring to the penalty play awarded to Cádiz and which marked a certain 1-1 draw .
“Penalties have to be taken and Budimir is in full charge, he is a specialist,” he assessed his striker’s success.
“We want to win. With our people, on Friday if we want we will savor today’s point more,” Arrasate highlighted.
