There were two controversial events in this game: one was that Cork might be sent off with a red card for grabbing Batala's neck; the other was that at the end of the game, Marcos Lorent made a foul on Chavalia.
Martin Presa said in an interview with Sel Radio: "In my opinion, (Cock) grabbed a player's neck... (Lorent) foul on Chavalia is obvious. I understand that the referee did not see clearly, but there was VAR."
Chairman Vallecano made it clear: "Based on my understanding of football, the two yellow cards of Cork and Lorent should be red cards... I think intentional foul should be punished." He also pointed out: "Before Atletico's second goal, we had players who were fouled and did not call."
