Isaac Romero’s Gesture Brings Second Yellow in Levante Draw
Adrián Cordero Vega’s report says Isaac Romero was sent off for a second yellow after making a silence gesture towards Levante supporters following Sevilla’s late 2-3 goal in Monday’s 3-3 draw....
Isaac Romero was shown a second yellow card during a match, following a gesture towards Levante supporters. According to the report by Adrián Cordero Vega, Romero made a silence hand signal after Sevilla scored a late goal, sparking a reaction from the Levante crowd. The referee deemed the gesture provocative, leading to the caution.
The incident occurred in the 90th minute and five seconds of play, replacing an initial report of the 90th minute. The gesture violated IFAB Law 12, which prohibits conduct that is provocative and exuberant during goal celebrations. Following the incident, plastic bottles, cups, and other objects were thrown by Levante fans towards the area where Sevilla players were celebrating.
Despite none of the thrown items hitting anyone, officials initiated the protocol for such behavior and resumed play after an announcement over the stadium system. The report suggests Levante might face a minor fine, estimated at around €602, but this assessment is not confirmed. The disciplinary action for Romero remains unclear, pending a final decision from La Liga.
