Referee Marta Huerta de Aza expelled Antonio Casas from Córdoba while he was on the bench, after Obolskii came on in his place to play the last half hour of the match. In this case, Casas received a double yellow card, which will keep him out of the next match against Zaragoza. Despite the expulsion, Córdoba managed to hold their ground without falling behind against Sporting de Gijón at El Arcángel.
According to the match report, the second yellow card for Antonio Casas was for "protesting one of my decisions from the technical area." Iván Ania, coach of Córdoba, commented on the controversial play and mentioned that the expulsion of Casas will leave the team without their star forward for the next match. Additionally, Ania praised the work of Obolskii, who replaced Casas and now has the opportunity to compete for a starting spot alongside the expelled forward.
On the other hand, the expulsion of Casas could be an opportunity for Obolskii, who had a notable performance when he stepped onto the field and added positive minutes. The Russian forward was applauded by the fans and left a good impression during his participation in the game. According to Ania, "Dubasín throws a ball at one of our players."
In the standings, the white-and-green team remains in the upper part of the table and is getting closer to their goal of staying up. The expulsion of Casas, despite being detrimental to the team, provides an opportunity for other players to prove their worth on the field.
