Villarreal opened the scoring in the 44th minute courtesy of a goal from Santi Comesana. However, Getafe quickly equalized with a penalty kick converted by Mauro Arambarri, after Bertug Yildirim was fouled in the box.
Afterwards, veteran Albiol was furious and declared: "It's easy to explain. One thing is to put your arm out and another is to hit, I think there is a big difference, the referee or the VAR didn't see it that way, well...
"I'm not going to talk about this anymore, it's a shame that we lost the three points. They want to favour the cheaters too and that's all, we just have to move on."
Comesana went further, stating: : "I think it's a disgrace.
"They didn't equalise, it was the VAR that made them equalise... For me this isn't football."
