La Ligas bottom side Leganes have been accounted to be sought after the Video Assistant Referee program failed.
Leganes think they conceded a penalty by Dimitris Siovas for a foul.
However, referee Munuera Monteros communication equipment collapsed, forcing the official to maneuver on the VAR decision via mobile phone.
Levante went on to win the match 2-1.
Leganes president Victoria Pavon said that the team would ask the game be replayed in the 44th minute, when the incident happened.
Very serious things have occurred in this match – such as calling a penalty against us that was a foul beyond the area, said Pavon.
It also happened in the game against Valencia a couple of weeks before, but also to that the VAR system was not working correctly so we believe we have not been in a position to compete in equal terms.
