García Plaza lashes out at refereeing

Sevilla manager García Plaza criticized refereeing decisions after losing 2-1 to Getafe, citing a controversial offside call on the second goal.

former Sevilla manager Luis García Plaza expressed frustration after his side's 2-1 defeat to Getafe, claiming poor refereeing decisions cost them the match. García Plaza felt Sevilla deserved a larger lead after dominating the first half, saying "the first half was worth going 0-2 or 0-3 up." He was particularly critical of the offside decision for Getafe's second goal, stating that the assistant referee raised the flag but his players had already stopped playing, and the linesman even entered the field of play with the flag raised. García Plaza also referenced a pattern of unfavorable decisions over recent weeks, mentioning a stamp on Isaac that went unpunished against Osasuna, a red card for Isaac at Levante for a minor gesture, and incidents at the Bernabéu. He acknowledged Getafe's attacking quality, praising Satriano and Ünal as among the league's best finishers, but maintained that better refereeing could have changed the outcome.
