VAR turns goal for Rayo Vallecano into penalty kick for Real Sociedad. Sevilla loses again
MADRID: Rayo Vallecano rallied late to draw 3-3 with Real Sociedad on Sunday in a Spanish league match marked by a sudden turn of events after VAR erased a Rayo goal and awarded a penalty kick to Sociedad instead. Rayo thought it had equalized 2-2 through Pedro Díaz in the 69th minute at Vallecas Stadium, but the goal was called back after the referee went to video review and awarded a penalty kick to Sociedad earlier in the buildup. Mikel Oyarzabal converted the 76th-minute penalty to make it 3-1 to the visitors. “If you decide not to call a penalty, the VAR calls you and your decision is delayed minute by minute, you are essentially telling the public that you don’t think it’s a penalty because you are not convinced,” Rayo coach Iñigo Pérez said. He added that “if you have doubts over 10 minutes, it’s because it isn’t (a penalty).
Barcelona on brink of La Liga triumph, Atletico build confidence
GETAFE, Spain: Fermin Lopez and Marcus Rashford’s goals took Barcelona to the brink of the La Liga title with a 2-0 win at Getafe on Saturday. Later on Atletico Madrid edged Athletic Bilbao 3-2 to build confidence before their Champions League semifinal battle with Arsenal. Defending Spanish champions Barca moved 11 points clear of second place Real Madrid, who drew at Real Betis on Friday to dent their hopes of finishing the season with a trophy.

Getafe set out to disrupt Barcelona’s rhythm with small fouls and Barca struggled to create many clear opportunities. They made the breakthrough just before half-time when Pedri played in Lopez, who slotted home. The midfielder imitated Yamal’s usual “304” celebration in tribute to the injured teenage star. “The truth is he’s really important for us, it’s a shame that he can’t play any more, but the important thing is that he recovers well and is ready for the World Cup,” added Lopez. With Getafe needing to come out of their shell to find an equalizer, Barca had more opportunities after the break. Martin Satriano threatened for the hosts before Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, secured
