An refereeing decision turned the match between Cedeira and Perlío into one of the most controversial episodes of the season in Galicia, Spain. In the second half, Daniel Bellas Pérez tried to intervene on a ball left in play after a free kick, inadvertently colliding with referee Fernando Caruncho Paz. Although the action was the result of a spontaneous movement and without bad intentions, the referee decided for a direct red card, leaving those present speechless. In the official report, Caruncho Paz justifies the expulsion by talking about “use of excessive force”, an explanation that immediately sparked controversy among fans, coaches and referee observers, raising doubts about how certain situations are interpreted in the Galician regional championships.
