Pinto booked for "taunting the opposition bench"
Posted Monday, September 16, 2013 by Marca.com
Alexis' last-gasp strike to clinch victory for Barça over Sevilla saw a small brawl break out on the touchline, resulting in Pinto being yellow-carded. In his match report, referee César Muñiz Fernández noted that he had booked the goalkeeper for "squaring up to and taunting the opposition bench after the goal went in".
However, Barcelona boss Gerardo Martino played down the clash in his post-game press conference, claiming there had been a misunderstanding between Pinto and Mbia and that his back-up goalie had subsequently apologised.
