Rayo Vallecano's Alemão Frustrated by Unnoticed Penalty Incident in LaLiga

Rayo Vallecano's striker Alemão was left frustrated after a potential penalty incident in the 5th minute of their Matchday 10 clash against Deportivo Alavés in the liga española went unnoticed by referee García Verdura. During a cross from Fran Pérez, Alavés left-back Youseff clearly grabbed Alemão's shirt to prevent a shot. Alemão demanded a penalty, but referee García Verdura did not review the play via VAR and no penalty was awarded. The search for the referee's name who officiated the incident proved fruitless, as no official records were found. The incident, which could have significantly altered the course of the match, was not reviewed by the referee, leaving Rayo Vallecano's striker and fans alike disappointed. The lack of VAR intervention in such a clear incident has raised questions about the consistency of referee decisions in the laliga fixtures.
