Referees’ committee acknowledges incorrect derby penalty

LaLiga’s referees’ committee says a 1–2-frame synchronization offset misaligned the ball signal and video in the Athletic–Real Sociedad derby; corrected data indicated a Real Sociedad player touched the ball last. It says the VAR decision was defensible with the information officials had at the time. Athletic won 2–1, and Unai Simón’s four-save display earned a standing ovation.
