Three red cards in the midweek round of games, the first for Aythami (Las Palmas) for a second bookable offence shortly before half time in the Tuesday night game at Betis. Levante’s Simao (who now leads our rankings) also got his marching orders on Thursday for a second yellow card late on in a bad-tempered relegation battle at Granada, and a member of the Levante coaching staff Andrés Garcera was also sent to the stands for protesting. All will miss the weekend matches together with eight other players who completed the five yellow card cycle, including Dani García (Eibar) and Rubén Pérez (Granada), the first to reach the 15 card threshold. Also out will be Víctor Sánchez (Espanyol) and Juan Rodríguez (Getafe), who both picked up their tenth bookings, and Roberto Lago and Emi Buendía (also Getafe), Ricardo Costa (Granada) and Casemiro (Real Madrid), who were all given their fifth.
