Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias, referee of the Madrid Committee in charge of directing last Thursday’s match in San Mamés between Athletic and Betis, recorded in his minutes that the game had to be stopped for more than a minute. Since no one was injured, it is normal for the rojiblanco club to be punished with a light fine
Thursday’s match at the rojiblanco stadium left not only the loss of the Biscayan club that hampered Athletic’s European dream and Vivian’s one-match ban for his dismissal. In addition, the Ibaigane entity will be fined for the incident of throwing objects that occurred at the beginning of the second half, in the so-called famous animation stand, and which forced the match to be stopped for more than a minute.
The referee detailed this incident in the following way: “Throwing objects: in the 52nd minute of the match I was forced to apply the protocol against throwing objects on the field of play, which stopped the game for approximately 1: 15 minutes. Because from one of the back stands where the visiting goalkeeper was, several aluminum foil balls were thrown without hitting any of the players, but very close to one of them.
We will see what kind of fine is imposed on Athletic based on article 15 of the Disciplinary Code regarding the responsibility of clubs, which makes it clear that among the factors there was a “known risk of causing” injuries. as well as the influence on the normal progress of the meeting. The normal thing is, according to the precedents of the same period, the entity of Ibaigane is punished with a light penalty that carries a maximum fine of 602 euros.
But since the referee said there was a possibility of hitting the goalkeeper of Betis, as specified in the arbitration act, this may be the extreme case that the incident is considered serious. In this case, the penalty can carry a closure warning in addition to a fine with a maximum amount of 6002 euros.
the two red
Regarding Vivivan’s sending off during extra time, Órtiz Arias specified that he was sent off for “knocking down an opponent, thus preventing a clear scoring opportunity.”
This last match played in San Mamés also led to the dismissal of Borja González, a member of Pellegrini’s coaching staff, for “making mock protests against one of my decisions, raising his arms and shouting to my number one assistant referee” and it will result. in two sanctioned matches.
