Como, madness from Jesus Rodriguez with Spain Under-21s: he gets sent off in the 93rd minute at 12-0, what happened

Como’s 2005-born player sent off at the end of the Spain v San Marino Under-21 match

Spain Under-21s cruised to victory away to San Marino in their European Under-21 Championship qualifier. The Iberian side ran out emphatic 13-0 winners, but in the closing stages attention turned to Jesus Rodriguez.

After coming on in the 75th minute, the Como player set up Mario Martin's goal for 12-0, then saw red in the 93rd minute just a few minutes later.

What happened

As Spain attacked, Jesus Rodriguez and Bartolomeo Riggioni started arguing and shoving each other. The Spaniard then struck the San Marino defender in the face, sending him to the ground. At that point, the straight red card shown by the Kazakh referee Sariyev was inevitable.

Romania are out

Jesus Rodriguez will miss the clash with Romania, which will decide top spot in Group A. Spain, in fact, lead the way on 24 points and must win to avoid the risk of being overtaken by Finland, who are second on 22 points and waiting for their clash with Kosovo.
