Unai López will pay dearly for his reaction to Isaac Romero's grab. Because, if everything goes as expected, the midfielder will miss the next two Rayo Vallecano matches, in addition to not having played in the second half of Sevilla - Rayo.

The match report is clear on this: "In the 45th minute, player (17) Unai Lopez Cabrera was sent off for the following reason: For giving a slap on the back of an opponent with excessive force without the ball being in direct dispute between them."

Considering this referee's wording, the regulations are clear in article 121, point 1, which states: "in those cases where the player's expulsion from the field is due to situations where the player could not have had the opportunity to play the ball, the suspension will be at least, two matches."

Now it will be the competition committee's decision whether to increase the suspension for repeated offenses or if Rayo decides to appeal the sanction. This Wednesday we will know what sanction is imposed.

If the two-game suspension is confirmed, he would miss the matches against Athletic Club and Valencia.
