Óskarsson to receive one-match ban after quick-fire dissent double booking | OneFootball

Orri Stein Óskarsson was sent off late on at Mestalla after two rapid bookings for dissent, and is understood to face only a one-match ban, Diario Vasco notes, describing the episode as rash from the forward and thin-skinned refereeing in added time.

The Real Sociedad striker was booked in the 96th minute for gestures and comments showing disagreement with a decision. In the 97th, after referee José Luis Munuera Montero had tried to calm him, he continued to show disapproval and was cautioned again, which resulted in a red card.

La Real finished with 10 and saw out the closing moments. The victory remained intact, his dismissal did not alter the scoreline.

He will therefore miss the meeting with Deportivo de la Coruña at Anoeta on Sunday 10 October.

He is then set to return for the second Europa League matchday, when Real face Union Saint Gilloise in Leuven on Thursday 15 October.
