Sadly referee Mateu Lahoz became the protagonist during Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey. Los Blancos went in 3-0 at the break, but the unjustifiable decisions of the referee had tipped the balance.
Mateu allowed all manner of fouls by Real Madrid, with a clear one by Morata ignored, which led to a corner that Varane scored the second goal from.
And then he invented a penalty, where Modric was felled by James Rodriguez's shove on Mercado, with the referee only noticing the Sevilla man bump into the Croatian.
