Copa Tension! Simeone expelled for protesting controversial play
Atlético de Madrid faced C.P. Cacereño in the second round of the Copa del Rey at the Príncipe Felipe stadium. Despite facing a Segunda RFEF team, the match was complicated by Merencio’s goal in the first half. Lenglet equalized the match after a cross from De Paul.
In the 85th minute, a shot from Julián Alvarez appeared to go in, but it could not be reviewed due to the absence of VAR in this round. Simeone protested and was expelled for the first time this season. The Cholo will miss the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.
