Referee Miguel ngel Ortiz Arias included Sevilla president Jose Castro in his match report after their defeat to Real Sociedad.

Castro was protesting the two red cards shown to Sergio Ramos and Jesus Navas late in the game.

In his report, Ortiz Arias stated: "Once the match was over and while I was heading to the locker room, the president of Sevilla, Don Jos Castro Carmona, was in the locker room tunnel waiting for us and addressed the referee team."

Ortiz Arias wrote the president of Sevilla addressed them "loudly in the following terms: 'Then you ask for respect. You went to see them and everything. That's not red, man. We are taking a lot of risks, not just you."

Also in his match report, Ortiz Arias stated: "In the 88th minute, player (4) Sergio Ramos Garca was sent off for the following reason: for making a tackle on the opponent in the dispute for a ball, hitting him with his studs on the leg using excessive force."

And...

"In the 88th minute, the player (16) Jess Navas Gonzlez was sent off for the following reason: for addressing my number one assistant referee, hitting himself in the face with the palm of his hand repeatedly, as a sign of protest after having made a decision."
