Pino Zamorano was in the firing line this weekend for his performance in the match between Mallorca and Sevilla. The referee was much criticised by the local management and fans after failing to send off Javi Navarro following a tackle which left Arango on the critical list in a local hospital (see villains section), only showing a yellow card to the defender after heated protests from the stands. To make matters worse though, he awarded a penalty to the visitors only two or three minutes later after Baptista rather obviously fell under a light challenge from Ramis, and when the agitated home players protested he produced a second yellow card to De los Santos and sent him off. In the closing minutes he compensated to a small extent by giving Baptista a very rigorous second caution to even up the numbers, but Mallorca lost the match and are now in serious danger of relegation, Pino did complain to the press afterwards though after he was put through the hoop, saying that from his angle he only saw an obstruction, and from the reaction of some people one would think that it was he who had elbowed the Venezuelan midfielder.
