Competition ditches with 3,000 euros fine and a warning to close the Hércules-Atlético B incidents

After the Madrid team’s second goal, in the final minutes of the match, several Hércules fans dedicated themselves to throw objects at the red and white footballersone of the throws resulting in an impact on the head of one of them.

As if that were not enough, one of the local fans «jumped the perimeter fence that separates the field of play from the stands”, as recorded in the minutes of the match referee Martínez Montalbán.

The Single Judge has considered the incidents as serious misconduct due to violation of article 107.2, and warns of closure warningalthough it does not specify whether it would be a partial or total closure of the stadium, in the case of a recurrence of similar events.

Third sanction of the course for Hercules

This is the third time that Hércules has been punished this season for incidents involving its fans. The Alicante club was already fined 600 euros for throwing a screw onto the pitch against Intercity, and against Murcia the referee was forced to stop the match when a fan touched a rival player when he was about to make a throw-in

This sanction has been taken as a grievance by Atlético de Madrid and its followers, since the red and white team received a much more forceful sanction as a result of the incidents in the First Division derby at the Metropolitano against Real Madrid.

Then Competition punished the red and white entity with the closure of the entertainment stands for three matchesin addition to imposing a financial fine of 45,000 euros.

Hercules, which assures that it is collaborating with the Police to identify the perpetrators of the punished acts, could see the sanction increased based on the assessment of the Antiviolence Commissionwhich also investigates the racist insults that can be heard in the videos but that the referee did not record in the match report.
