The Competition Committee did not remove the second card that Hermoso saw on Sunday in the final moments of the match and caused him to be ejected.. It was in his corner kick struggle with Ceballos, and it ended with the Madrid player on the ground. Something that caused him to be sanctioned with this yellow card, added to the one he had seen minutes before, led to his dismissal. Something that the referee Munuera Montero collected as follows: “In the 90th minute the player (22) Hermoso Canseco, Mario was reprimanded for the following reasons: For pushing the opponent when the ball was not contested, he fell”
The RFEF Disciplinary Code clarifies the importance of the arbitration act in a procedure that can have absolute value: “The minutes signed by the referees constitute a necessary documentary medium throughout the evidence of violations of the sports rules and regulations. Extensions or clarifications to them signed by the referees themselves will have the same nature , either ex officio, or at the request of the disciplinary bodies”
But the video evidence presented by Atlético de Madrid regarding this action may also be of great importance.. This is also recognized by the Disciplinary Code itself: “Nevertheless, the relevant facts for the procedure and its resolution may be accredited by any method of proof, and interested parties may suggest that any of those will be implemented or directly contribute as much as they are interested for the correct resolution of the file”.
However in the resolution of the disciplinary body they argue that the video shown by Atlético de Madrid does not damage the referee’s record.
“In the opinion of this Committee, none of these assumptions agree with the case, since the photographs provided clearly show the existence of physical contact between the two players involved in the set of the game, and therefore this Committee cannot consider the assumption that the truth of the record has been distorted, which in any case is the assessment of whether there is a punitive action or whether it can be considered as a reprimand, issues where the technical criteria of the referee cannot be replaced by the very respectable one supported by the alleging club or by one that the Committee itself may have. Therefore, it is appropriate to reject the respective allegations made “
Now Atlético de Madrid can appeal to the Appeals Committee which aims to remove it.
