Three red cards for outfield players this weekend, one for Levante's Xisco Nadal for a tackle from behind on Espanyol's Dátolo, one for Zaragoza's Ponzio for an off-the-ball slap from behind on Barcelona's Dani Alves (lot of controversy about Alves's Oscar performance there), and one for Sevilla's Fernando Navarro for a second bookable offence against Athletic Bilbao (all three early in the second halves of their respective games). And two more red cards for managers, one for Atlético's Quique Sánchez Flores for arguing a bit too vehemently about disallowed penalties at half time, and one for a similar reason for Zaragoza's assistant coach Nayim (remember him - Ex Barça and Tottenham, scored for Zaragoza in the Cup Winners Cup final against Arsenal - Nayim from the half-way line, etc...). There were lots of yellow cards this weekend, but they were well spaced out (e.g. Velasco Carballo showed 12 to different players in the Espanyol Levante game), and nobody reached the five card limit.
