Jorge Pascual's sending off during the Granada versus Cultural Leonesa match caused significant commotion, both inside and outside the stadium. The incident, which occurred during injury time, was widely discussed on sports programs like Carrusel Deportivo, due to the unusual behavior of the player, who is typically known for his exemplary conduct on the field.
“"The red card was inevitable due to the expression used."
The main referee, Alejandro Ojea, did not hesitate to show Pascual a direct red card after he directed an insult, “puto bigotes” (fing mustache), at one of the officials. This action left Granada with ten men in the final moments of the match, which ended in a 1-0 victory for the Nazarí team.
The potential sanction for Jorge Pascual could exceed one match, depending on the referee's report. If the suspension is for two games, the forward would miss the anticipated match against UD Almería, a game with special significance for him given his Almerian origin and his history of being on the local club's radar. This absence would be a blow for Granada in upcoming fixtures, which also include an away game against Albacete.
