Official Statement

C.D. Leganés will formulate an objection to the RFEF's Competition Committee in the coming hours for last Saturday's match against Levante U.D.

After making sure (the Club), that during the penalty kick play there were no communication problems between the VOR and the referee of the match, it states:

1. C.D. Leganés based on what understands as the realization of a referee's technical mistake when applying the concept of penalty in accordance with the Rules of Play by the IFAB and the non-application of the VAR protocol as far as the review of the foul's location is concerned (inside or outside the penalty area), will request the anullment of the match and its repetition from the moment of the penalty wrongly called in the 44th minute.
2. C.D. Leganés' statement of objection will provide prior jurisprudence based on favorable resolutions from both FIFA and UEFA, where due to arbitrary technical mistakes due to erroneous application of the current game regulations, the match has been repeated.
3. C.D. Leganés is and will always be a faithful defender of the Rules of Play and of the competition, and wants to make it clear that at no time is doubting or showing the possible existence of an action contrary to the integrity in the competition by any of the members of the match's referee team.
