Spanish coach slams referee

KWANGJU, South Korea -- Spain coach Jose Antonio Camacho was unhappy with the referee after his side lost 5-3 to South Korea.

"I thought the referee would be fairer in a quarter-final match like this," he said after the match finished 0-0 at the end of extra time.

"We fought to the end and worked so hard but we went out because South Korea were luckier than us. I am just sorry we couldn't go any further."

Egyptian referee Gamal Ghandour disallowed two Spanish 'goals', including one by striker Fernando Morientes in extra time which television replays suggest should have stood.

Ghandour ruled the effort out when one of his linesmen flagged because he thought the ball had crossed the goalline before Joaquin crossed it for Morientes to head in at the far post.
