Atletico Madrid's victory over Getafe (1:0) in La Liga will completely overshadow an unprecedented episode. The guest's captain, Abdel Abkar, took a straight red card for those who, under the hour, grabbed the genitals of the attacker of the mattress makers Alexander Serloth.
The Lords of the field Swidko took the lead: already on the 8th half of Molina with a magnificent long-range strike at the upper corner of the crooked rakhunok. Prote chaos on the field arose through this week after the renewal of the game in the other half.
At the hour of the super-rechka without the ball, Abkar uncontrollably grabbed Serlot by the groin. The Norwegian forward lost his emotions and knocked the guy onto the lawn. The head referee of the match, Miguel Angel Ortiz, started the game for the first time, and then, after prompting the VAR system, watched the video replay on the field monitor, praising the categorical decision.
The Moroccan henchman Getafe was unexpectedly kicked out of the field for unsportsmanlike behavior, and Serlot was punished for his turbulent reaction. Repeating the incident on the big screens of the Metropolitan Stadium shocked the public.
After the match, Abkar tried to tell the truth in the comments for Movistar:.
“I don’t intend to hang around the gravel myself in this zone. You are in the skin game: in football we are constantly moving, sticking and all that. I don’t know what I did to the referee, but I swear that I didn’t even think about sticking around there,” said Gravets.
Atletico goalkeeper Juan Musso was categorical and supported the judge’s decision:.
" The referee will give an absolute response if he has been removed from the field. Previously, they could have gotten into trouble like this, but in today’s football there is simply no place for such speeches,” respecting the goalkeeper.
As soon as the game itself, then even before the break, Serlot could sum up Atletico's advantage by taking the stand. At the same time, Getafe, fighting in the minority, having created a number of unsafe events at the end of the match, failed to compare the results.
