Another four red cards this
weekend, three of them direct. Getafe's Pulido was the first to go, earning
himself a straight red for a foul on Zaragoza's Sergio García early in
their match. Athletic Bilbao's Gabilondo was also sent off before the break for
a heavy tackle on Racing's Oriol, and Espanyol's Riera got his marching orders
for the second time this season after catching Curro Torres with his elbow in
the second half of the game with Valencia. Elsewhere Llera was also sent for an
early bath ten minutes before the final whistle of Nàstic's visit to
Huelva for a second bookable offence. On the card front, three of Racing's
players, Colsa, Melo and Tomás, all reached the five card threshold on
the same day, leaving coach Miguel Angel Portugal with a big hole in midfield
for his next fixture. (06.11.06) |
