According to the CTA's analysis program 'Tiempo de Revisión', the linesman committed a procedural error by raising his flag prematurely during a controversial goal sequence.\n\nThe incident occurred when Atlético Madrid found the back of the net, prompting the assistant to signal offside before the play concluded. However, the CTA determined that the goal was fully compliant with the laws of the game. The committee stated that the flag should have remained down until the attacking phase was complete, as is standard protocol for such situations.\n\nValencia defenders had halted their pursuit upon seeing the raised flag, momentarily believing the whistle would follow. This momentary lapse proved costly, as Atlético's player was able to finish the move unopposed. The CTA's verdict clarifies that the goal was correctly awarded, but the assistant's timing was flawed.\n\nThe ruling underscores the importance of assistant referees adhering to the directive of delaying flag signals in close offside calls, allowing play to continue until a clear decision can be made. The CTA emphasized that while the outcome of the goal was legitimate, the premature flag could have influenced the match's flow unfairly.\n\nThis reprimand serves as a reminder to all match officials about the necessity of patience in executing their duties, especially during high-stakes encounters. The Valencia team and their fans have expressed frustration over the incident, but the CTA's statement leaves no room for dispute regarding the legality of the goal itself.\n\nMoving forward, the incident will likely be used as a training case to reinforce correct procedures among Spanish referees. The CTA's public acknowledgment of the error aims to maintain transparency and accountability in officiating standards.\n\nBoth clubs have since moved their focus to upcoming fixtures, with Atlético benefiting from the three points and Valencia left to rue a moment of miscommunication on the pitch. The CTA's decision closes the chapter on this contentious moment, affirming the goal while correcting the official's protocol breach.\n\nBased on reporting from Fútbol.","news","Spain's Technical Committee of Referees has reprimanded the assistant referee for raising his flag too early during the Valencia-Atlético match, confirming the goal awarded to Atlético was legally valid.","327189115856490497","326135624820068352","La Liga","0","2026-05-05T18:48:29Z","cta-reprimands-assistant-referee-for-premature-flag-in-valencia-vs-atletico","Fútbol","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Fatletico-madrid\u002F20260505\u002F1004179407\u002Fcta-reprende-linier-valencia-atletico.html","326257565316943872","Valencia",[53,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68],"326257565233057792","326222712143876096","326257537596788736","326257539731689472","326257544358006784","326257544525778944","326257580911366144","326257590545682432","326257695210344448","326222711653142528","326222707169431552","326222712496197632","326222713142120448",[54,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82],"Atletico Madrid","Portugal","FC Porto","Hellas Verona","Atletico Paranaense","Atletico-MG","Tokyo Verdy","Portland Timbers","Signal","Spain","Anderlecht","Netherlands","Canada","CTA Reprimands Assistant Referee for Premature Flag in Valencia vs. Atlético Clash",[85,116,142,176],{"awayTeamId":86,"awayTeamName":87,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":88,"homeTeamId":89,"homeTeamName":90,"id":91,"leagueId":46,"leagueName":47,"matchId":92,"matchName":93,"publishedAt":94,"slug":95,"sourceName":51,"sourceURL":96,"teamId":86,"teamName":87,"teamIds":97,"teamNames":106,"title":115},"326255041704890368","Rayo Vallecano","Augusto Batalla says Rayo Vallecano are full of emotion ahead of the Conference League semifinal second leg vs Strasbourg, as the Madrid club looks to take a historic step.","326255037997125632","Strasbourg","327184215663710209","327052252315389952","Strasbourg vs Rayo Vallecano","2026-05-06T02:25:04Z","emotions-running-high-rayo-vallecano-keeper-batalla-eyes-conference-league","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Frayo-vallecano\u002F20260505\u002F1004179153\u002Fgran-sueno-no-hay-decir-todas-emociones-flor-piel-falta-finiquitarlo.html",[86,89,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,65,66,68,105],"326222712592666624","326257537865224192","326257550938869760","326257556060114944","326257610309242880","326257618995646464","326257621004718080","326255038584328192",[87,90,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,79,80,82,114],"Congo DR","Estoril","Lask Linz","Estudiantes L.P.","Club Queretaro","CA Estudiantes","Esteghlal FC","Legia Warszawa","Emotions Running High: Rayo Vallecano Keeper Batalla Eyes Conference League Final Dream",{"awayTeamId":117,"awayTeamName":118,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":119,"homeTeamId":120,"homeTeamName":121,"id":122,"leagueId":46,"leagueName":47,"matchId":123,"matchName":124,"publishedAt":94,"slug":125,"sourceName":51,"sourceURL":126,"teamId":120,"teamName":121,"teamIds":127,"teamNames":134,"title":141},"326257565702819840","Real Sociedad","Chidera Ejuke delivered a game-changing performance for Sevilla, emerging from obscurity to terrorize Real Sociedad's defense on the left wing and forcing a key substitution in a vital LaLiga victory.","326257565400829952","Sevilla","327183694919897089","326324465602400256","Sevilla vs Real Sociedad","from-ostracism-to-hero-how-chidera-ejuke-rescued-sevilla-against-real-sociedad","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Fsevilla\u002F20260505\u002F1004179163\u002Fejuke-emerge-momento-clave.html",[120,117,128,129,130,100,131,132,66,68,133],"326257544051822592","326255042430504960","326257539807186944","326257559755296768","326257610179219456","326257546392244224",[121,118,135,136,137,109,138,139,80,82,140],"Internacional","Servette FC","Cremonese","OFI","U.N.A.M. - Pumas","Nottingham Forest","From Ostracism to Hero: How Chidera Ejuke Rescued Sevilla Against Real Sociedad",{"awayTeamId":143,"awayTeamName":144,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":145,"homeTeamId":146,"homeTeamName":147,"id":148,"leagueId":46,"leagueName":47,"matchId":149,"matchName":150,"publishedAt":94,"slug":151,"sourceName":51,"sourceURL":152,"teamId":146,"teamName":147,"teamIds":153,"teamNames":164,"title":175},"326257565535047680","Real Madrid","Ezequiel Lavezzi disclosed he turned down Barcelona in 2020, weeks after retirement.
