Seven red cards this
weekend, with Valencia's Stankevicius the first to go on Saturday evening after
picking up two bookings against Zaragoza. On Sunday Deportivo's Pablo Alvarez
and Osasuna's Soriano got their marching orders for the same reason, as did
Sporting's José Angel, who was followed down the tunnel a few minutes
later by his team-mate Sastre after he was shown a straight red for a foul on
Villarreal's Rossi. The other two red cards were for Sevilla's physical trainer
and for Getafe's Boateng, both for insulting the officials (Boateng's after the
match against Athletic Bilbao had finished), an offence which carries a two
match ban this season. All will be joined on the sidelines next weekend by
seven players who picked up their fifth cautions of the season, Callejón
(Espanyol), Nekounam (Osasuna), Henrique (Racing), Cáceres and Navarro
(Sevilla), Cuéllar (Sporting) and Paredes (Zaragoza). (17.03.11)
