60-Second Rule Sparks Debate in Sociedad Match

A article discussed the implementation of a new rule in football law during the 2026-2027 season, whereby a player is required to leave the field for one minute when the goalkeeper gets injured on the pitch without being substituted. This experimental rule has been adopted in some European leagues, with the aim of reducing goalkeeper injuries used as tactical fouls or to disrupt play. Chaos erupted during the match between Real Sociedad and Espanyol after Sociedad's goalkeeper was injured, as the coaching staff were not fully aware of this new rule, leading to protests and the expulsion of coaches and the team's captain. The rule allows the team captain or the coach to designate a player to leave the field within 10 seconds, and the player may return after one minute if the referee grants permission. The experiment has sparked debate over its clarity and interpretation, especially concerning its enforcement on the field, particularly in the context of efforts to reduce delays and improve injury management during matches.
