Cádiz has requested the cancellation of its match against Elche, and requests its resumption in the 81st minute, when

Ezequiel Ponce

scored the equalizing goal for the Elche, clearly offside, and without the field referee or those of the VAR will decree to annul it.

"As a consequence of an

unfortunate and negligent

action by the arbitration group, specifically the referees of the VOR Chamber, Cádiz CF was seriously harmed," began their statement signed by President Manuel Vizcaíno.

For this reason, "the annulment of the well-deserved match is requested and its resumption from minute 81 of it, at which time the refereeing team validated the goal scored by the Elche, CF player, Ezequiel Ponce, despite being preceded by a

resounding and flagrant offside

, not susceptible to interpretation, as the images of the match show".

For Cádiz, what happened "

cannot be branded as a mere human error

, but rather as a serious and manifest technical arbitration error, motivated by the negligent and non-excusable action of the referees of the VOR Room".

The Cádiz club, in addition to the images of the match, points out in its favor "the acts that have taken place since then", such as the referee's statements to the Cádiz coach,

Sergio González

, revealed in his press conference: "I have I went to talk to Del Cerro Grande and he apologized for the goal.

It's a very rude mistake.

The feeling is that they have checked a foul and not the offside. If the VAR is worth anything, it should be for offside ".

Cádiz also refers to statements coming from groups dependent on the RFEF itself, such as that, according to

Cadena Cope

, sources from the Technical Committee of Referees described Del Cerro's error as "unforgivable", adding that it

would bring consequences for Iglesias Villanueva

, a referee. VAR manager.

"There is no doubt that the arbitration team made a manifest, serious, inexcusable and unjustifiable

material error

, from which irreparable damage is derived," continues the statement from Cádiz.

He also says that "it will not remain immobile in the face of sporting injustice", and that "depending on the sporting and economic damages that may be inferred from the final classification of Cádiz", they will assess new legal actions.

In fact, the

two points lost

by Cádiz after this action would have served them to momentarily leave the relegation places.

"

Rubiales

(president of the Spanish Federation) owes us a few points. Less Super Cups in Arabia and more to fix the VAR," Vizcaíno told Canal Sur.
