Another scandal? "It was an accident" – Claudio Echeverri comments on uncalled foul on Koundé

Girona's star admitted that the referee made a major error, which helped Girona score a goal.

Details: The 20-year-old attacking midfielder of Girona, Claudio Echeverri, commented on an incident from yesterday's match where he fouled Barcelona's Catalan defender Jules Koundé.

Echeverri acknowledged that the main referee let him get away with an obvious foul on Koundé, but emphasized that it was not intentional, describing it as a mere accident:

"Yes, yes, I did step on Koundé... but I was running at full speed, and it was just an accident." – Echeverri admitted.

If the referee had called a foul, would you have understood? – journalist.

"Yes, yes, but... fortunately, they let us have the win!" – replied the Argentine.

Girona managed to turn the game around after Barcelona took the lead in the 59th minute thanks to a goal by Cubarsí. Girona responded just two minutes later with the equalizer, and in the 86th minute, Fran Beltrán clinched a 2-1 victory for the hosts. However, just seconds before the winning goal, Echeverri stepped on Koundé's foot—a moment that went unnoticed by the match official.
