Luis Suarez rescued a late draw for Barcelona at Real Betis, with the champions not being allowed a goal which crossed the line.


La Liga is the only one of Europe's top five leagues
not to have goalline technology - with the Premier
League, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 all
bringing it in in the past few years.
The Spanish league has continually said it will not
bring in the system because it is too expensive.
But the calls for it will increase after Barcelona
were denied a legitimate goal that could have a
big impact in the title race.
Soon after Real Betis took the lead, Aleix Vidal's
cross was sent towards goal by a Betis defender
and Mandi slid the ball off the crossbar and away -
but replays clearly showed it was well over the
line.
Barca boss Luis Enrique was diplomatic when
asked about the incident after the game. "Referees
need help, be it cameras or whatever, for
decisions which favours us or not," he said.

Betis give Barca a scare

Despite the fact Barcelona had a legitimate goal
ruled out, the champions were fortunate - on the
balance of play - to have even drawn.

Betis, who rise one place to 13th, had 17 shots to
Barcelona's 10 and Ceballos hit the crossbar from
outside the box before Castro smashed the post
from close range - both at 0-0.

They had a glorious chance to seal the game at
1-0 when top scorer Castro was played in one-on-
one as Barca took risks, but fired the ball straight
at keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
