Espanyol added another name to their ever growing list of "personas en negro non grata", Clos Gómez. The referee awarded a controversial penalty to their opponents Real Madrid when Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick hit Luis García's arm as he sheltered his face in the defensive wall. And after sending off Pepe for a second bookable offence, he then sent off Galán less than minute later with a straight red for a tackle on Ronaldo, ending with another red for Forlín later on. It didn't all go Madrid's way though, as Clos could have given another penalty earlier on when the ball hit Galán on the arm, and let Duscher off a possible red card when he split Higuaín's lip with his elbow late in the game.
