It seems like his anger has not died down, as the Al-Nassr boss refused to attend the meeting organized by the Saudi Football Federation.

Castro was reportedly very frustrated with how things went down during the game against Al-Hilal. The manager during his press conference even went as far as claiming the referee was the only reason Al-Hilal got the win over his side.

Al Nassr boss Luis Castro went all in on the match officials during his post-match press conference. The manager was very frustrated with the officials believing they cost his side the game.

Castro, in his press conference, stated, “The referee is the one who made Al Hilal win today. There were two penalty kicks that were not awarded to us, and Al Hilal’s second goal should have been disallowed.”

Despite all that unfolded during the game, it was Al-Hilal who emerged as the winner at the end of the final whistle. Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was on fire in the game as he bagged 2 goals. Following his dominant outing, the striker has now scored thirteen goals in the Saudi Pro League and is just two goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who is leading the race for the Golden Boot.
