World Cup referee Velasco Carballo disallowed a strike by Real Sociedad’s Carlos Vela for offside in the midweek cup tie against Racing Santander which should have counted, although it will probably not change the outcome as Real won 3-1, and the second leg may not even take place if the Racing players carry out their threat to boycott the game as a protest against serious delays in the payment of their payroll. Prieto Iglesias did influence the result though at the weekend, his decision to rule out a strike by Getafe’s Michel for the positional offside of Marica probably costing the visitors a point at Almería. The game ended 1-0 in favour of the home team. (29.01.14)
