Racing Santander coach Miguel Angel Portugal has hit out at referee Gonzalez Gonzalez following their 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid at El Sardinero.
After Thursday's Copa del Rey defeat which saw a penalty awarded against the Cantabrian outfit for a foul a yard outside the penalty box, Portugal once again saw his side undone by a contentious decision and remarked that the officials had done well for Atletico in the two games.
With the scores at 1-1 Gonzalez failed to take action against David De Gea for a foul on Mohamed Tchite, stopping a certain goal for the hosts and afterwards the coach was seething.
"The referee has been brilliant for Atletico in the two games. We are a humble team and know that these things happen," he said afterwards as quoted by AS.
"A win would have put a fear into them [ahead of Copa second leg]. On points we have won but this isn't boxing, it's football and you must score goals."
Portugal also upped the pressure on referee Undiano Mallenco who takes charge of the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final on Thursday.
"Undiano Mallenco is a good referee and surely will step up," he remarked.
