REVEALED: What ref Lahoz told Real Madrid keeper Keylor at final whistle...

Ref Mateu Lahoz congratulated Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas for his late save in victory over Real Betis.

Lahoz was hammered by Betis players and officials after the game for not sending off Keylor in the first-half.

Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos even claimed Lahoz had admitted there was "contact" between Keylor and Darko Brasanac.

He continued: "I think it has changed the course of the game and it was an unfortunate move of the team, but I think Mateu does not try to favour any club. He tries to do the best possible and those mistakes are committed by everyone."

At the final whistle, Cuatro cameras caught Lahoz telling Keylor, "Good save, hey?" after his late stop against Tonny Sanabria.
