Arrasate believes that the referee was detrimental to them in Sevilla's goal: "He was very angry"

Sevilla were unable to secure victory on Monday in the match that closed the 25th round of LaLiga EA Sports. The team managed by García Pimienta were unable to prevail over Mallorca despite having the lead in the 90th minute after a goal scored by Kike Salas. Martin Valjent equalised the match in stoppage time in a play whose legality the Sevilla coach described as "at the very least dubious". However, Jagoba Arrasate , the coach of the Balearic team, also pointed out in the press room that he found it questionable that Sevilla's goal was allowed to count.

The Basque coach understood that in the play prior to the goal «there was no foul» on Rubén Vargas. Dodi Lukebakio took the free kick and the ball ended up at the feet of Kike Salas, who scored the first goal of the match on the stroke of half-time. « I was very angry about the goal, it was the last play of the first half and I understand that Omar did not foul. It is only a foul, but you have to defend a free kick from the side when Badé or Kike Salas can score a goal and when they score, the anger really increases . I should have waited (he went to look for the referee in the centre of the field) and these are things that I have to improve too», added the coach who saw a yellow card during the match.

"I don't know if we had more chances than them, but we had clearer ones," said Arrasate, who celebrated that "it seemed like it wasn't the day because we missed clear chances, but in the end the goal came." As for Sevilla, he pointed out that "they had just won 0-4 and by winning they were in a very good position. I think they will be in that fight. They may feel more comfortable away from home. This stadium is still very difficult."
