Luis Castro rages at 1-0, says another ball was on the pitch

Luis Castro voiced deep frustration over Levante’s 1-0 defeat at Athletic, arguing the referee should have halted play after an unnoticed incident.

According to El Correo, the Levante coach was angered that a second ball was on the pitch at the time, so the restart should not have taken place. He believed the officials ought to have stopped the game.

His complaint centred on the moment that produced the only goal. He maintained that the situation went unseen by the match team.

Castro expressed deep dissatisfaction in his post-match remarks. He felt the failure to intervene was a mistake.

Levante were beaten 1-0, and their coach’s focus remained on the officiating of that sequence. He made clear he expected play to be stopped in those circumstances.
