One of the images from the weekend was that of Sara Fernandez, the referee of the women’s match Real Madrid - Athletic Club. The referee was hit by the ball in the final moments of the game, which prevented her to the end the clash. The video became viral on Twitter and some have left macho insults and humiliating messages for the simple fact that she could not bear the blow.
In one of the last attacks by Athletic Club in the match where they were desperately looking for a goal to equalize, Naroa Uriarte fired a powerful shot from outside the penalty area on the local goal defended by Misa Rodriguez. This launch would never reach the immediate vicinity of the goal, as the ball hit the referee sharply. She fell on the grass and had to be taken care of instantly. Sara did not lose consciousness, but she did show signs of severe headache from the trauma. In fact, while she was lying on the ground receiving medical assistance, screams of pain could be heard on the broadcast. In any case, Sara recovered and even left the field on her own feet, without being able to finish the match, but everyone was in a tremendous scare. Sandra Gonzalez had to jump onto the field to end the match.
