Valencia on Tuesday seized a 1-0 win from Real Sociedad in La Liga thanks to a vanquished maxi gómez purpose and a last-sigh intervention from the VAR that ended with a society save.
Valencia, who had failed to win their last two games, took the lead in the minute when Uruguayan forward Gómez arrived in the area to pile up a cross from José Gaya.
Visitors appeared to have lost their lead in the fourth minute of extra time when the Robin Le Normand Society’s defense nodded from nearby diversity after a race to the arch.
However, a review of the VAR showed that Aritz Elustondo of Society had used his arm on the climb for the purpose of deflecting a shot, which was stored through goalkeeper Jaume Domenech and then returned through Le Normand. (Report via Richard Martin edited through Tothrough Davis)
