Rayo’s Isi Palazón Hit With Seven-Match LaLiga Ban Over Referee Insult

The ban applies only to LaLiga competition.

Overview

  • The RFEF disciplinary committee suspended the Rayo Vallecano midfielder for seven league games following an incident in the match against Real Sociedad.
  • The sanction is split into one game for yellow-card accumulation, two for protesting a decision, and four for insulting the referee.
  • The official match report says he entered the field to argue and told referee Guzmán Mansilla “eres un sinvergüenza” while pointing at him during a 3-3 draw.
  • The length of the suspension means he will miss the rest of Rayo’s LaLiga fixtures this season.
  • He remains eligible for the UEFA Europa Conference League semifinal against Strasbourg because domestic suspensions in Spain do not extend to UEFA competitions.
