Some dubious decisions by Medina Cantalejo in the cup tie between Espanyol and Deportivo, although in the end things evened themselves out. When he blew his whistle early on after Arizmendi fell theatrically in the area under a challenge from Lopo, everybody expected him to get out a card (probably one showing 5.9 for the dive!), but to everyone's astonishment he pointed to the spot. But maybe because he saw the half time video, Medina gave an equally dubious penalty to Espanyol when the ball hit Andrade on the arm at point blank range, and he was also taken in by another piece of histrionics later on, sending off Coloccini rather harshly for leaving a foot in when he tackled Jofre, who rolled around in supposed agony before getting up and playing on as if nothing had happened once the red card had been shown.
