Referee: Casemiro can't avoid the ball touching his hand, no penalty

  /  autty

Real Madrid faced Athletic Club in a battle at Estadio San Mames, with the hosts looking to retake the lead almost immediately after conceding an equaliser from Isco.

In their move on the attack, the ball appeared to hit Casemiro's arm in the Real penalty area, sparking wild appeals from home fans.

"The referee is right not to give a penalty," Andujar Oliver told Radio MARCA, agreeing with Jose Luis Gonzalez Gonzalez's decision.

"It's impossible for the Brazilian to avoid his arm touching the ball because he is supporting himself with his arm.

"That's why it is considered involuntary."
