FC Barcelona’s seven-match winning streak came to an end with a 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena on Sunday. The decisive goal was netted by Sheraldo Becker in the 33rd minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse to slot the ball into the bottom corner.
Barcelona’s offensive efforts were stifled throughout the match, as they failed to register a single shot on target. Their best opportunity came in the 13th minute when Robert Lewandowski found the back of the net, only for the goal to be disallowed for offside after a VAR review.
Adding to Barcelona’s woes, midfielder Frenkie de Jong was forced to leave the pitch prematurely due to injury, further complicating the team’s dynamics.
Despite the loss, Barcelona remains at the top of the La Liga table, holding a six-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid, who have a game in hand. Real Sociedad’s victory propels them to eighth place, now with 18 points from 13 matches
Can someone explain to me how a semi automated offside technology will mistake the defender’s foot for Lewy’s foot in the image.
