The referee A.I.J.S. had to take refuge in a corner and the presence of the local police was necessary after the group 30 match between Escola Futbol Base Guissona and Butsènit, played in Guissona and resolved with a 5 to 4 home victory. The referee's report states that, after the final whistle, the referee was cornered on the field by visiting players and fans.
Always in accordance with that document, the referee tried to go to the changing room, but was surrounded by several Butsènit footballers and by about thirty followers who blocked her way. During that episode, shoves and insults occurred and the referee could not identify the perpetrators. The intervention of local team staff prevented the situation from escalating.
Tension during the match and several expulsions
The report reflects that tension had already been increasing before the incidents after the match. Among those expelled is J.G.M., sanctioned for protesting repeatedly and aggressively and for confronting the referee a few centimeters away while following her across the field. At that moment, adds the referee's text, several spectators had to intervene to separate him.
M.A.B.S.V. was also expelled for addressing the referee with derogatory shouts. In the case of I.K., the report states that he approached the referee from behind, grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her while she was backing away. After the expulsion, he uttered serious insults to her.
With the match already finished, S.R.C. saw the red for continuing to protest and following the referee across the field of play while accusing her of having conditioned the match. Again, the intervention of third parties was necessary.
The coach returned to the field after being expelled
The visiting coach D.M.O. had been sent off in the 42nd minute for gestures of mockery and repeated protests. Despite this, once the match was over, he again burst onto the field running and with an aggressive attitude. According to the match report, members of both teams had to restrain him while he tried to approach the referee.
The referee's document also states that the visiting delegate M.A.H.R. refused to sign the minutes in disagreement over the referee's decisions. The sequence ended with the referee protected by people from the local club and with police intervention to guarantee her exit from the field in Guissona.
