Granada claimed a 2-0 victory against Mallorca in the final match of the second round of the Segunda Division. The game was defined by a controversial second goal that left the visiting side in complete disbelief.
Following a corner kick and a substitution, the referee signaled for play to resume while the Mallorca players were still adjusting their positions. Arnau Puigmal inadvertently put the ball into his own net as the Mallorca squad stood still, expecting a whistle or a stoppage.
Despite intense protests from the Mallorca players, which resulted in bookings for Alex Sala and Manu Morlanes, the goal was allowed to stand. Manager Luis Garcia expressed his frustration after the match, labeling the situation as inexplicable given the availability of modern technology like VAR.
He emphasized that while referees are human and prone to errors, the lack of clarity in this specific moment was difficult to accept. The result leaves Mallorca searching for answers while Granada celebrates a hard-fought, albeit contentious, three points.
