Villains

Four red cards on day 3, including one for Getafe's Granero. The young debutant was only on the park for six minutes before he got his marching orders for a hard tackle on an opponent, and he is the fourth Getafe player to be sent off this season. Elsewhere Recreativo's Edu Moya had to go for a second bookable offence, and Almería's Crusat was shown a red card in the Bernabeu stadium after bringing down Saviola. Almería's assistant coach Juan Carcedo was also red-carded for "swearing at the referee and then kicking over the drinks dispenser", according to the referee's own report. Never heard that one before! (18.09.07)
