The match between Sevilla and Girona in La Liga has sparked controversy over the decision made by referee, who ruled that Girona should have received a penalty after they had committed a foul on Sevilla defender.

The match was held at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona, Spain, on May 21st, and it saw both teams play for their final chances of advancing to the semi-finals of the competition. The game started with a goalless draw, but then Girona scored two goals within ten minutes, making it a tough match for both teams.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw, and Sevilla won the match thanks to a penalty from Jordi Alba. However, referee, who is known for his decisions, ruled that Girona should have received a penalty after committing a foul on Sevilla's defender.

This decision led to a heated discussion among fans, supporters, and media about the matter. Some people were upset that referee did not give Girona a fair chance to win, while others believed that the referee made a mistake and should have given them a penalty.

In addition to this, there was also a disagreement over the length of time the match was played. The match lasted just under 90 minutes, which some viewers felt was too long compared to other matches in the season.

However, Sevilla's manager, Quique Setien, stated that he was satisfied with the result and that the team would be ready for the next game if they needed another chance to win. Meanwhile, Girona's manager, Vicente del Bosque, said that the team will focus on preparing for the next game and getting back to winning ways.

Overall, the match between Sevilla and Girona was a close one, but the outcome was decided by the referee's decision. It is clear that the match was decided on the field of play, rather than the rules or regulations of the game.
