The absurd expulsion of Baena in Villarreal-Almería
If there has been an arbitration decision that has marked the day 11 of LaLiga is none other than the absurd expulsion of Baena during Villarreal-Almeria. An expulsion that regulation in hand, is correct but it is still a real inconsistency within the same. And it is that the yellow footballer saw the second yellow after lifting his shirt and showing another one that he was wearing underneath, reminding Joseph Manuel Llaneza, recently deceased.
The absurd expulsion of Baena
The young yellow soccer player marked the 1-1 for his team against Almería. After scoring the goal, the player lifted his shirt to reveal one that said “Thanks for everything, Simplicity”. regulation in hand, De Burgos Bengoetxea decided to admonish the footballer who already had a card, so he was forced to go to the locker room. Villarreal was going to win the match in the minute 94 despite having one less player on the field.
This caused numerous protests from both Baena himself and his teammates who did not understand how the referee had expelled the yellow footballer for remembering such an important and beloved person in the Villarreal environment as Llaneza was..
What did you put in the minutes of Burgos Bengoetxea?
This is what the referee collected in his minutes: “In the minute 56 the player (16) Baena Rodriguez, Alejandro was reprimanded for the following reason: Lifting the shirt above the head after scoring a goal”.
