Only one red card in the midweek cup ties, Almería’s Jonathan Zongo getting his marching orders for lashing out (in frustration?) at Racing Santander’s Saúl García. The young striker was given a two match ban, which he must serve out in the same competition. And two more reds at the weekend, both in same match as Betis midfielder Nono picked up two bookings before half time (that’s a no-no we hear you say!), and Osasuna keeper Andrés followed him down the tunnel after giving away a penalty on Rubén Castro on the hour mark. They will both be suspended next weekend, together with five other players who picked up their fifth bookings of the season, San José and Mikel Rico (Athletic Bilbao), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Barral (Levante) and Iñigo Martínez (Real Sociedad).
