For the first time in history a match continued when it was over.
An error by
Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea
, the referee of the match that this Sunday faced Sevilla and Granada, caused the scene.
The images of the players putting on their boots again and recovering their exchanged shirts will remain in the memory.
It happened at Sánchez Pizjuán, with 2-1 on the scoreboard.
The referee whistled the end of the game one minute before the injury time that he had marked.
It was necessary to arrive at minute 94 and he whistled in 93. An unusual, but not exaggerated, failure, which could have come to nothing, in protests by Granada, but which finally went down in history.
Faced with the claims of the visiting team, De Burgos Bengoetxea asked his assistant, he consulted the VAR and the referee confirmed his mistake.
There was a minute left.
And yet, the referee ordered that it had to be played.
There were already players in the changing rooms, others had taken off their clothes and shoes, but all had to return to play the remaining minute.
Lucas Ocampos
, after the final whistle, commented in Movistar that, apparently, De Burgos Bengoetxea's clock had stopped before the discount and calculated intuitively.
"The referee stopped the clock. I never saw him, but you always learn something new. There were players who had already taken off their clothes," said the Sevilla player after the rarity experienced.
