Five red cards in the
midweek round of matches, curiously all of them coming in just two games. On
Tuesday night Real Madrid lost Pepe to two yellow cards in five minutes for
fouls on Espanyol's Callejón, but just forty seconds later Galán
was shown a straight red for a high tackle on Cristiano Ronaldo. And a few
minutes before the final whistle Forlín was also sent off for a second
bookable offence, leaving the visitors with nine men. Two days later Getafe's
Rafa and Málaga's Jesús Gámez were also sent for an early
bath after they both picked up two yellow cards midway through the second half
of their match. (25.09.10) |
