Another rookie referee made the headlines this weekend, Teixeira Vitienes upsetting Espanyol's new boss Luis Fernández when he effectively cost them the game at Albacete. The Periquitos were a goal up when a dreadful mistake by Toni let through Aranda. Soldevilla ran back to cover, but Aranda fell as soon as the defender got alongside him, fooling the referee into giving a penalty and sending off the defender. Worse was to come when Aranda clearly knocked the ball forward with his forearm as he went on to score the winning goal, the referee refusing to see anything wrong, and he then sent off Torricelli for a foul on the young striker later on. It wasn't all one way traffic though, the referee disallowing a headed goal by Pablo García after he climbed on a defender's shoulders to score. (01.12.03)
