Córdoba faces the absence of one of its starting players for the next match, and possibly for more games, due to a situation with the referee during the last encounter. Although the team's coach stated that the player did not say anything derogatory to the referee, the match report reflects otherwise.
During the match against Racing de Santander, Jacobo González had an incident with the referee while heading to the bench to be substituted, resulting in a direct red card. Although the ejection did not significantly affect the course of the match, it does pose a problem for the Córdoba team, which could lose a key player in the coming weeks.
According to the regulations, addressing referees with derogatory attitudes can lead to a suspension of several matches, and in this case, Jacobo could miss the next two league matches. However, he will be able to participate in the Copa del Rey match against Olot.
The situation has generated surprise among those present at the stadium as well as among the team's followers, as the ejection occurred after Jacobo's derogatory comment to the referee. Despite the controversy, the match report clearly states the reason for the red card and the possible consequences for the player in question.
