Iturralde González and his infamous side-kick Rafa Guerrero were in the news again this weekend when Iturralde gave a penalty to Real Madrid for a foul on Zidane by Málaga's Gerardo which was a good yard outside of the area. Bernd Schuster would have appreciated such help as González Vázquez didn't even give his Levante side a penalty when Manchev was clearly fouled and then Orbaiz handled in the area. He did make up for it a bit though after the break, sending off Athletic Bilbao's Luis Prieto for a questionable second booking after Sergio García seemed to fall by himself. Lizondo Cortés upset both Atlético Madrid and Zaragoza when he turned down a penalty appeal at both ends, and finally Muñiz Fernández also opted for the safe route, booking Sevilla's Carlitos for diving when he was brought down by Mallorca's Westerveld in the last minute of their match.
