Sports News | Cadiz Wants to Halt Spanish League After Refereeing Mistake

Madrid, Mar 2 (AP) Cadiz has asked a sports tribunal to temporarily suspend the Spanish league because of a refereeing mistake against the club.

Cadiz wants to halt the competition until a decision is made to its challenge of a 1-1 draw against Elche in January, when the Video Assistant Referee failed to spot that an Elche player was clearly in an offside position in the buildup to Elche's 81st-minute equaliser.

The club said on Wednesday it was a "serious" refereeing mistake "motivated by the negligent and non-excusable action" of the VAR refereeing crew.

Both Cadiz and Elche are fighting against relegation.
