Real Zaragoza has decided to go on the offensive after learning of the Disciplinary Committee’s decision. The body has dismissed the allegations made by the Aragonese club following the expulsion of Jawad El Yamiq in the last match against SD Eibar, confirming a one-match suspension for the defender.
The club has been quick to react, calling the decision unfair. According to the club, the sanction is based on a misinterpretation of what happened on the field compared to what was written in the referee’s report. Therefore, the legal services will file an immediate appeal with the Appeals Committee.
The club's goal is to demonstrate the existence of a "manifest material error". Zaragoza seeks to have both the red card and the resulting sanction annulled, allowing the player to be available for the next league match. The management had already expressed their dissatisfaction last Monday over what happened at the Ibercaja Stadium.
In the official statement, the club highlights the sporting, social, and economic harm this situation causes. They consider the expulsion to be clearly disproportionate and that it directly affects the team’s planning at a crucial point in the season.
Finally, Real Zaragoza has demanded rigor, coherence, and uniformity in the application of the regulations. While they emphasize their respect for the refereeing community, they insist on the need to protect the prestige of the competition and the respect that their fans deserve in the face of decisions they consider mistaken.
