It is known that the Spanish referee loves to be the protagonist in the matches he directs and this time it was Casildense who suffered from his penalty imposed George Sampaoli. In the match between Linares and Sevillefor the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey, the referee expelled the Argentinian coach in the 18th minute of the first half. Unusual.

What happened was unclear. Although George DesioSampaoli’s assistant, tried to explain it to himself after the match in which the Andalusians won 5-0 (goal by Erik Lamela): “I didn’t hear what he was shouting, but it was a shout, nothing more, nothing important. Sampaoli and Mateu get along well, they talked to each other and I don’t think it’s anything important”.

18 minutes had gone by when Mateu Lahoz approached the Sevilla bench and calmly showed Sampaoli the yellow card. After a few seconds, he showed him the red one and showed him the way to the locker room. Casilda’s man froze, not understanding what had happened.

In the minutes, Mateu wrote: “In the 15th minute coach Sampaoli, Jorge Luis was booked for the following reason: Make verbal and gestural protests outside your technical area. In the 16th minute the Sampaoli coach, Jorge Luis, was booked for the following reason: Persist their verbal and gestural protests after being scolded“. “In the 16th minute, Sampaoli coach Jorge Luis was sent off for the following reason: double yellow card”He added.
