"Lee Kang-in's festival ended in an unfair defeat" Spanish media points to Korean referee's decision... "It wouldn't have been recognized"

Spanish media outlets have voiced strong criticism regarding the refereeing during a preseason friendly match between Atletico Madrid and Manchester City held in Seoul. The Spanish newspaper 'AS' specifically highlighted concerns over the officiating, particularly in relation to Manchester City's comeback goal.

The report from 'AS' suggests that there was a clear offside infringement in the sequence leading to Manchester City's decisive goal. The publication strongly implied that if this had been an official match, the goal would likely have been disallowed based on the perceived offside position.

This scrutiny from Spanish media points to a dissatisfaction with the referee's performance and calls into question the validity of certain calls made during the friendly. The commentary suggests a belief that the referee's decisions may have unfairly influenced the outcome of the match.
