Elche down to 10 men: Redondo red card in the 6th minute
Federico Redondo was sent off after VAR review for bringing down Bryan Zaragoza in the sixth minute.
Federico Redondo was involved in an early turning point at the RCDE Stadium: the Argentine-Hispanic defender was sent off after a VAR check in the 6th minute for taking down Bryan Zaragoza as last man, according to MARCA.
The incident came after a sequence that Redondo didnât manage well from the start. He received a pass from Chust that was not ideal, but then made it worse with a poor pass back to his goalkeeper. Sensing the ball was going to be short, he moved to stop Zaragoza from breaking through into a one-on-one.
VAR overturns it
Initially, the referee did not brandish any card. But the VAR called him to review the tackle. After checking at the monitor, Jon Ander GonzĂĄlez showed a straight red to Redondo.
With the match only beginning, Elche had to react immediately to being a player down. Redondo headed to the dressing room with the rest of the game still ahead, a situation that could heavily weigh on what comes next.
