The Real Madrid wins 3-2 in a comeback against Almeria, recovering from a two-goal deficit and overturning it in the 99th minute with Carvajal but three VAR incidents spark the guests' controversy. Penalty for the blancos, goal disallowed for Almeria and questionable goal granted to Vinicius.
The first incident that infuriated Almeria was in the 53rd minute when the referee Francisco Hernandez Maeso was called by the Var and awarded a penalty kick to Real Madrid, which was then converted by Bellingham. The sanctioned incident was an alleged handball by Kaiky. Shortly after the second situation: Arribas scores for Almeria but the referee disallowed the goal after being called to the monitor. This time for a punch by Lopy on Bellingham at the start of the action. The third incident occurs in the 67th minute, when Vinicius manages to get the ball into the net but probably with a shoulder or an arm. A very dubious incident but which does not lead to the cancellation of the goal. The referee awards the goal that gives Ancelotti's team a temporary 2-2. Almeria's protests become uncontrollable but after a maxi recovery, it's Real who prevail with Carvajal's goal.
At the end of the match, Almeria's defender Marc Pubill spoke to DAZN microphones: "I believe that someone decided that we should not win at Bernabeu and that's what happened. I have nothing else to add." Carlo Ancelotti also expressed himself in the post-match press conference: "I perfectly understand Almeria's anger but these are three situations reviewed by VAR, and in the end I believe the referee made three clear decisions."
