Espanyol lost this Friday against Rayo at the RCDE Stadium, a ‘heated’ rivalry marked by a controversial arbitration act in the opinion of the blue and white club. The Spaniard criticized the different standards when it comes to showing yellow cards and above all, the strict direct red that Sergi Gómez saw and caused a lot of damage to Diego Martínez’s team because it disconnected his game and the dominance in the first half hour.
The arbitration greatly disturbed Spanishism and the nerves were released. The result of this is that sports director Domingo Catoira had his pluses and minuses with referee Figueroa Vázquez. At the break he went down to the locker room and ran into the aforementioned Figueroa Vázquez, telling him “come on, you’ll be comfortable”. This is written in the minutes of the referee meeting.
“At half-time in the game and in the locker room tunnel, the Spanish sports director, Domingo Catoira, spoke to me in the following terms: ‘Well, you will be happy’. This is how the referee collects Figueroa Vázquez this episode in the observations of the minutes of the match played at the RCDE Stadium between the perico team and Rayo Vallecano.
