Whilst understanding their frustration, the Córdoba players did themselves no favours this weekend, three of their defenders getting themselves sent off in a 3-1 defeat at Real Sociedad. Pantic was first to go in only the sixth minute for bringing down Agirretxe as he advanced on goal, and Iñigo López followed him down the tunnel after picking up a second booking with ten minutes to go. And after the locals got the last goal in injury time, Pinillos was also given his marching orders for serious insulting the referee (or more accurately, his mother!). That has earned him a four match ban, and the others will also be missing for the first match following the international break, together with Angeleri (Málaga) and Fran Vélez (Almería), who were both shown second yellow cards late on in their respective games, and another eight players who reached the five booking threshold, Thomas (Almería), Lopo (Deportivo), Alvaro (Espanyol) and Trashorras (Rayo), all with ten cautions, and Mascherano (Barcelona), Amaya (Rayo), Isco (Real Madrid) and Moi Gómez (Villarreal), all with five.
