In soccer, a referee will exhort the players to "Play On" even though a foul has occurred so as not to disadvantage attacking team. How do you say/convey in Spanish to "Play On"

I wonder if he might just say 'continúa' or 'continúen'?

You might find these links useful,I can't seem to find play on in them but it does have other phrases that you might come across. smile Football/Soccer Vocab in Eng and Spanish and Football / Soccer vocab. Eng/Spanish Rugby Glossary

If I got you right, I'd say it's something like "que siga el juego." Meaning, the game must continue, a possible goal is better than just a foul for the attacking team. Of course that only happens when the foul is against one of the players from the attacking team.
