There was a lot of confusion at the end of Sevilla's match against Granada on Sunday evening, as referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea whistled the game to a close one minute early.After four minutes of stoppage time was announced, both Sevilla and Granada were surprised to hear the whistle go after three minutes.The Granada players surrounded De Burgos Bengoetxea, who after consultation with Antonio Mateu Lahoz in the VAR room, as well as the other on-pitch officials, realised his error and asked the Sevilla players to come back onto the pitch.However, many had already made their way down the tunnel, while others had taken off their socks and boots.
Fortunately for De Burgos Bengoetxea, there was nothing of note that happened in the resumed final minute of action as Sevilla held on to win 2-1.Sevilla winger Lucas Ocampos spoke to Movistar after the match and recognised the confusion that it had caused."The referee's watch stopped. I never saw it, but you always learn something new. There were players who had already taken their kit off," said Ocampos after one of the strangest situations ever seen in Spanish football.
