Why was the goal against Barcelona disallowed?

During the 24th round of La Liga, in the match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano, a goal by Jorge de Frutos in the 43rd minute was disallowed. Referee Mario Melero López made the correct decision by ruling out the equalizing goal.

In this incident, the goal scorer was not offside, but Randy Nteka was beyond the offside line at the moment of the pass. Although the ball was not played to him and he did not receive it, he actively influenced the play by interfering with Barcelona defender Iñigo Martínez.

For this reason, referee Melero López correctly called offside and disallowed the goal.
