In today's lunchtime kick of in Spain's top division The la liga was made to look very ordinary amateur when a clear goal by the Catalans was disallowed.
After a goalless first half Real Betis took the lead in the 75th minute through Alex Alegria but from then on Barcelona went at their hosts with everything and the major talking point of the game came in the 79th minute.
The ball was crossed into the area and directed toward goal but Betis defender Aissa Mandi managed a clearance only after the ball had clearly crossed the line, the clear goal was disallowed simply because the Spanish league doesn't have goal line technology and this is 2017.
In the Bundesliga or EPL it would have counted as a goal but the la liga deems the goal line technology an expensive investment, but since this has happened to one of the 'big boys' they may want to have a rethink.
Luis Suarez managed to steal a leveller in the 90th minute making it 1-1, Barcelona remain 1 point behind Real Madrid who have 2 games in hand including today's game against Real Sociedad.
