Israeli player Roy Revivo continued his strong season with Elche on Saturday, drawing a penalty that contributed to his team's 3-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano. This win marked Elche's third consecutive clean sheet. Following the match, refereeing expert Pau Fernández, who analyzes officiating for several Spanish media outlets, stated that the officiating crew erred and the penalty should not have been awarded. Fernández argued that the defender planted his foot and Revivo exaggerated contact, concluding it was not a penalty. In contrast, the prominent refereeing analysis page 'Archivo VAR' determined that an offense did occur. They noted that the defender extended his leg and could have avoided contact but chose not to, and that Revivo actively sought and received the penalty.
