Pérez Lasa was the man in the headlines this weekend after missing one of the most obvious hand balls since Maradonna's infamous goal against England in the 1986 World Cup. Cádiz striker Alexander Medina jumped up to fist the ball down past the keeper and in to the net in the first half of the match at Málaga, but neither Pérez nor his linesmen saw the incident (the only two people in the stadium who didn't!). The referee further upset the fans when he sent off new signing Antonio López for a second bookable offence after giving him a first yellow card whilst still on the bench, and he had to scurry off the pitch under a police escort as a rain of objects hailed down at the end.
