Levante requested more human and technical resources for League F in a statement published on Monday, where it announced that it had presented a formal complaint to the Referees Committee for the ‘ghost goal’ that was not awarded yesterday against Athletic Club in a match that ended in a 0-1 red and white win.
“The Levante UD first women’s team started League F without getting any points due to a referee error that could have been avoided if the referee had more media and audiovisual resources to rely on when making a decision”, the statement began.
Due to the “clarity” of the images, Levante insisted that “Liga F must have all the adequate means for the competition to develop normally” and therefore in its complaint it requested that the existence of a more technical means and people “so that the F League has the professionalism it deserves and reaches the quality levels that the clubs also require.”
“The goal is that these events will not be repeated in the future so that the First Women’s Division in Spain can develop as this high-level competition,” he said.
The Barça club said it knows it “can’t change anything” and that it “assumes that referees are human and can make mistakes,” but it also “wants to register a formal complaint with the Referees Committee.”
The game was explained by the Barça club as follows: “In the 57th minute, the player Lahmari launched a powerful shot that hit the crossbar and bounced into the rival goal, which meant a 1-1 tie. However , neither the Balearic committee referee nor his assistant agreed to the goal, considering that the ball had not yet fully crossed the goal line.This decision was key to the outcome of the match, which ultimately ended in Athletic’s victory Club by 0-1.
Levante also stated that “the situation has generated a strong debate in social networks and the media and, although in cases of ‘ghost goals’ opinions are often divided, this time it is difficult to find voices that are not agree about the fact that ” The ball crossed the goal line when it was seen in the images offered by the F League on television.”
