Only three red cards this
weekend, the first for Mallorca defender Nunes for demonstrating his
goalkeeping abilities late on in the match against Getafe. Aouate would have
been proud of his save, but the referee was less impressed and awarded a
penalty to the locals. Valencia's Maduro got his marching orders for a second
bookable offence midway through the second half against Barcelona on Sunday,
and the following day Atlético's Simao was red-carded as well for a
second booking against Osasuna. Five players will also be suspended next
weekend for accumulation of yellow cards, including Maduro's team mates Bruno
(ten bookings) and Zigic (five), Simao's colleague Agüero (five), and
Deportivo's Antonio Tomás and Laure (five each).
