Aperribay: the CTA admits a chip error, but it brings no comfort

Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay is not consoled by the CTA statement acknowledging a chip synchronisation error in the penalty given against Jon Mikel Aramburu for his challenge on Nico Williams in Sunday's derby at San Mamés. According to MARCA, Aperribay says his club left the stadium convinced there had been no penalty, and that nobody told them the chip had failed.

Before discussing the derby, Aperribay sent his condolences to the family of Jesús de Miguel, the Tenerife player who died, and to the club. On the decision, he argued that the referee's call must be respected and warned that bringing technology into the referee's decisions takes the judgement away from the pitch.

About the derby, he spoke of a very good match with standout individual performances on both sides and praised Unai Simón's display. He said the game shows both teams a path to becoming better. Real Sociedad now turn their attention to Lyon and then Rayo.
