VIDEO | Never seen in football: An Atletico player scored a goal while on the bench
Atletico Madrid disappointed his fans once again after drawing against the Wanda Metropolitano Getafe (1:1) and remained only in fourth place in the table in the Spanish "La Liga".
The game marked one of the most bizarre goals of the season. There was nothing unusual about Angel Korea he hit the ball hard and beat Soria, but what followed in the next three minutes once again showed the futility of "delayed joy" due to VAR technology.
The VAR footage followed, and in the meantime, the coach of the "quilters", Diego Simeone, decided to make a substitution, it was Correia who left the field, and Carrasco entered in his place.
Chief Justice Mateu Lahoz who initially ruled offside, but then with the help of VAR technology changed the decision, pointed to the center to the great joy of the Atlético players who immediately went to celebrate Correia who was already on the bench.
Atlético failed to keep the minimal advantage, the visitors got a point thanks to Unal who was accurate from the penalty spot. In the other matches played on Saturday: Espanyol - Osasuna 1:1, Elche - Villarreal 3:1 and Betis - Celta Vigo 3:4.
