‘Cordoba denied a clear penalty’

Miroslav Djukic claims Cordoba were robbed of a ‘clear penalty’ during their controversial 1-0 defeat to Celta Vigo in La Liga on Saturday.

The match at Balaidos descended into a farce when Fernando Teixeira Vitienes signalled for a Cordoba spotkick after Carles Planas fouled Fausto Rossi in the box, only for a mass brawl to prompt the referee into going back on his word.

“It was a clear penalty [referring to the above incident] but the brawl [changed the referee’s mind],” the Coach raged.

“In my career, I’ve never seen anything like that. It was crazy. I didn’t enter the pitch to protest because it’s not my place to do so.

“We were poor in the first half and lost easy balls, but we improved after the break and enjoyed greater control of the match after Abel came on.”
