Racing de Santander fined €301 for a lighter thrown from the stands
The RFEF fines the club over a lighter thrown from the stands during the match against Real Madrid, which landed near an assistant referee without hitting him.
The RFEF's Disciplinary Committee has fined Racing de Santander €301 for a minor breach of match order. The sanction stems from a lighter thrown from the stands during Sunday's match against Real Madrid on 1 November, as Mundo Deportivo reports.
Referee José Luis Munuera Montero recorded in the match report that the lighter landed near the second assistant referee without hitting him. At minute 78 he activated phase one of the protocol, which involves a warning over the public-address system. The incident came after a VAR review of a possible handball by Tchouameni in the box, which ended with no penalty.
Article 117 allows fines of up to €602 in such cases, but the committee applied the lower band of the middle grade, setting the amount at €301.
