Yellow card

ALMERIA’S footballers, Gonzalo Melero and Samu Costa, who were one booking away from missing the next fixture, were yellow carded for the fifth time on the last Matchday.

This means the suspension will have to be served in next season’s curtain opener.

While the Portuguese defensive midfielder will not be able to feature in the first match of the next term, the Madrid native midfielder will be able to earn a starting spot.

UD Almeria, after reading the booking written on the game card, appealed Gonzalo Melero’s sanction.

The appeal has been successful and therefore, the 29-year-old midfielder will be able to start the new season clear of yellow cards, as well as striker Luis Suarez, after serving his two-game ban.

Melero was booked in the 89th minute for delaying putting the ball back in play, looking to waste time. At that moment of the match, Gonzalo Melero was not on the pitch as he had been replaced. Since the match official did not specify that the player had already been benched when he was booked, the yellow card has been rescinded.
