Casemiro played the Clasico in the early stages of the match against Mallorca. The Brazilian, who is playing on his guard, could see a yellow card in the 14th minute for a foul on Ángel from behind. The match referee, Sánchez Martínez, made a move to show him the card, but in the end the Real Madrid player was not booked.
“For me it is a play where Casemiro should have been cautioned. It is a tackle where you shoot from behind touching the ball with your right but with your left you knock down the opponent. This type of play is very dangerous for the physical integrity of the players. Touching the ball first does not exempt the action from being reckless”, explains Iturralde Gonzálezreferee of AS and Cadena SER.
In the broadcast of Sports Carouselother commentators such as Álvaro Benito and Mijatovic agreed with Iturralde’s opinion that this foul should have resulted in a yellow card for Casemiro.
