Still no talk of goal-line technology in Spain despite error (The Associated Press)

The refereeing mistake that cost Barcelona a goal on Sunday has not immediately prompted any official consideration of goal-line technology in Spanish football. The Spanish league and the Spanish soccer federation were not commenting on the clear error on Monday, and no immediate action was expected because of the missed call in Barcelona's 1-1 draw at Real Betis, a result that allowed Real Madrid to increase its league lead to four points. Goal-line technology is in use in many of the top European leagues - including England, Italy and Germany - but there is no timetable for when the technology might be implemented in Spain.
