A calmer week on the refereeing front after the excesses of two weeks ago, and once again there were no red cards in the first division. Spain has not adopted goal-line technology though, and there were three games on Sunday where it would have been useful. An own goal by Valencia’s Gayà at Deportivo, and strikes by Sevilla’s Bacca at Elche and Villarreal’s Uche against Almería were all awarded by Estrada Fernández, Ayza Gámez and Clos Gómez respectively, all probably correct, even though defenders / keepers scrambled the ball away from inside the goal afterwards. The last two probably shouldn’t have counted for other reasons however, as both were scored from offside positions. (22.10.14)
