In the first round of the Spanish Cup, “Granada” met with “Arosa”. The LaLiga side won 3-0 but failed to progress to the next round due to a huge mistake by the club.
“Granada” was disqualified from the Spanish Cup – Arosa SC advances to the next round
Granada, currently 19th in La Liga, were knocked out of the Copa del Rey despite a 3-0 first-round win against Arosa.
The Spanish Football Federation announced on Tuesday that the team had been disqualified from the Copa del Rey due to an error by the Andalusian group.
According to MARCA, Arosa SC officials noticed that Granada were using a goalkeeper from the second team who should not have been eligible to play.
It is about the 24-year-old goalkeeper Adrian Lopez. According to the quoted source, the rule is violated, according to which a player registered in the second team can only be used by the first team in the Cup only at the age of 23.
In addition, Granada was also fined €6,000.
The LaLiga group has 10 days to appeal.
