That's more like it boys! After the opening day's well behaved round of games, we finally have our first red cards of the season. Two of them in fact were for Mallorca players, Ballesteros picking up two bookings in the second half of the match at Barcelona, and Farinós following him down the tunnel a few minutes later after he was shown a second yellow card for protesting. Ballesteros probably won't miss the next match though as the disciplinary committee are expected to let him off one of the cautions. Villarreal's new signing Tacchinardi got a taste of Spanish refereeing when he was sent off for a hard tackle on the match against Sevilla, and Getafe's Rivas was also shown a red card for the same reason late in their match against Athletic Bilbao.
