In one of the most productive plays for his team this season, a cross by

Toni Kroos

for

Casemiro's

shot

, came the great controversy of the derby between

Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid

.

The German midfielder's shot was perfect towards the position of his Brazilian teammate, ready to try to finish off in the small area of ​​Oblak.

In a thousandth of a second, the ball

touched the red-

and-white

Felipe's

arm

and changed its direction, making it impossible to define the '14' merengue.

At the moment, in the Metropolitan Wanda

, Casemiro's screams

began to resonate

.

"Hand! Hand!"

Demanded.

Like him, his colleagues, addressing

Hernández Hernández

to consult the VAR.

In his jump, and despite making a movement in which he was on the way to closing his arm,

Felipe deflected the ball

and did not allow the final shot from the Madrid midfielder.

When the play ended,

José Luis González González notified the referee from the VOR room

and Hernández Hernández went to the screen to check the play.

After a few seconds of vision and deliberation, the referee considered that the action was not worthy of the maximum penalty.

Casemiro, next to him, put his hands to his head and the rest of the Madrid squad protested the decision.

According to the

IFAB

(International Football Association Board), when there is contact between a defender's arm and the ball,

there will be an offense

, in the context of Felipe's play, when "a player deliberately touches the ball with his hand / arm, including the movement of the hand / arm towards the ball ", when" he touches the ball with his arm and makes his body abnormally larger ".

And it will not be an offense when the ball hits his hand "directly from the player's own head or body", "if the hand / arm is close to the body and does not make the body abnormally larger".

A few minutes later and after the final whistle of the first half,

Lucas Vázquez and Luis Suárez

on the one hand and

Koke and Nacho

on the other got into a mini-tank due to an action between Casemiro and Lemar.

It did not reach more than a momentary heat, but it reflected the tension that was breathed in the grass after the last moments of the first half.
