Behind a goal, Valencia tried to respond. The opportunity came in the 29th minute, when Lucas Vázquez was caught with his hand in the penalty area. Carlos Soler advanced as executor, but Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois managed to frustrate him.
But the referee finally asked for the penalty to be repeated because the video assistant referee (VAR) indicated that Yunus Musah’s position was already in the penalty area when the execution took place. Soler stepped back to take the penalty, and this time he did his job successfully. Score 1-1.
