Only two red cards in the midweek round of games, Sporting Gijón defender Bernardo picking up a second yellow card for handling the ball in the area shortly before the break in the match at Rayo Vallecano, and Sporting’s assistant coach Tejada following him down the tunnel a few minutes later for protesting. Elsewhere Eibar’s Gonzalo Escalante is the first man to reach the five yellow card threshold after picking up a booking in the game at Levante, quite an achievement in only the fifth week of the season! One to watch for the future? (25.09.15)
