Sevilla FC Takes Action Against Refereeing Decisions

omidbasir- The events that unfolded yesterday at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, including the ejection of Matías Almeyda and his confrontation with referee Iosu Galech, as well as the double yellow card issued to Juanlu that left Sevilla with a numerical disadvantage for an extended period, have prompted Sevilla FC to express its dissatisfaction. Furthermore, the potential penalty not awarded to Agoumé has led the club to escalate their concerns, resulting in the president reaching out to the authorities of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) to file a formal complaint regarding the officiating.

Sevilla FC believes it has been adversely affected by the refereeing in LaLiga, arguing that there are no clear or consistent criteria applied in various situations where they feel aggrieved. The club recognizes the stakes involved and is determined to advocate for fairer officiating, as they feel compelled to address the perceived errors occurring both during gameplay and in disciplinary matters. This includes the incidents involving Almeyda and Joan Jordán, who was also dismissed for protesting the decisions made.

Additionally, the club’s legal team is preparing a formal statement of allegations, which will be submitted to the Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. This document will include a report of the match along with video evidence. Sevilla FC contends that there is a discrepancy between the account provided by Iosu Galech regarding Almeyda’s direct red card and what the video evidence shows. The club aims to have this expulsion reconsidered, seeking either to reverse the sanction or to mitigate its severity based on the referee’s report.
