Regla 12 · Faltas y conducta incorrecta
“Se concederá un tiro libre directo si un jugador comete alguna de las siguientes infracciones: … sujetar a un adversario.”
IFAB Laws of the Game (extract)
Holding an opponent is a direct free-kick offence, and inside the box it's a penalty. The usual question is whether the hold is strong enough and long enough to stop the attacker.
Lucas Boyé scored the penalty in the 45+6' to make it 1-1 before half-time. Atlético won 1-2.
What the media say
“Es muy claro. Le Normand. Se dan todos los condicionantes.”
“los va a seguir habiendo, era penal”
“El penalti puede dar lugar a dudas sobre si el agarrón es suficiente o no”
“Siempre es difícil interpretar hasta dónde es penal y hasta dónde no.”
