Martínez Munuera decided to expel Lopetegui and Bordalás in minute 57, after both faced each other in the band. Ocampos's injury due to a very hard tackle by Djené, which was the red for the defender and ended with the striker leaving the pitch on a stretcher, was the trigger of the rifirrafe starring the two technicians.
Julen Lopetegui lost his nerve as he approached his injured player and saw his pain show. Then he went to the Getafe bench shouting: “I shit on your f … mother.” Bordalás immediately reacted to that expression, that he had to be grabbed by members of his coaching staff when he went after the Sevilla coach. In the end, after a few seconds of maximum tension, both technicians left the technical zone with a red card.
The referee of the match explained the action between the two coaches in the refereeing act. “In minute 54, coach Lopetegui Agote, Julian was sent off for the following reason: once he left the technical area to worry about the health of one of his players, face and yell at the visiting bench in an energetic, confrontational manner,or that it caused a reaction from the entire visiting bench. “
On the red to Bordalás Martínez Munuera wrote: “In minute 54, coach Bordalas Jimenez, Jose was sent off for the following reason: after the action written in the expulsion of the local coach, to go energetically to the center of the field having to be held by the field delegate, who gave him a slap on the arm “.
Possible sanction
Iturralde González, member of As y la Ser, considers that the sanction that the Competition will impose will be a match for each one since he has not recorded the insults that have been launched in the minutes: “The goalkeeper coach of Barcelona against Granada fell a game, applying article 116 of the regulations. As there is jurisprudence they will fall a game for the insults”.
Nevertheless, depending on the interpretation made by the Committee on the “slap on the arm” that Bordalás gave to the field delegate. The punishment of the Getafe coach can be between 1 and 3 games.
