Referee and player incredibly ‘high-five’ after controversial goal is given in Spanish lower league clash

THIS is the incredible moment a referee high-fived a player after allowing a controversial winner in a Spanish league game.

Astonishing footage from the lower-league clash between Los Yebenes and Alcobendas Sport shows the moment the official adjudged the ball had crossed the line.

As Los Yebenes players celebrate wildly, one player runs over to the referee and slaps his hand.

While the decision to award the goal was correct, the gesture was somewhat controversial – although it does appear it was the player making the move towards the official.

What’s more, that strike settled a 2-1 success for Los Yebenes.

The ball was swung into the Alcobendas box from a corner, and at the back post, a Los Yebenes man swung a leg at it.

The keeper did his best to keep it out, but it’s quite clear the ball was over the line.

The Los Yebenes players raised their arms into the air, pleading for the official to give the goal.

And he duly obliges with his arms pointing back to the centre-circle for the restart.

It was then that the man in black seemed happy to tap the hand of one of the delighted players.

Celebrations really went into overdrive as the fans got involved in the action too.

But it will be the actions of the referee that will leave a sour taste in some mouth’s – especially the Alcobendas players when they watch it back.
