Please note: in this sentence, till is a particle and should be stressed. The Voice is wrong here.

tillägger isn't used in this sense. You can use it as 'add' in sentences where 'add' means approx. 'say'. Like, We also need more paper, she added. But not in the sense we have here.

lägger on its own only means 'puts' or 'lays [something] down'. But lägger till (stress on till) is a particle verb, meaning add. Compare to how 'turn' means one thing on its own, while 'turn on' means something else.

Boggled me, too --but I don't follow any sports, so the entire sentence was utterly baffling until Duo nudged me that "referee" was the preferred translation.
