MALAGA was furious with referee Antonio Rubinos Perez after he sent off two of its players and coach Manuel Pellegrini in a dramatic 3-4 defeat at Valencia in La Liga on Saturday.
Malaga central defenders Martin Demichelis and Helder Rosario were shown the red card in the 16th and 65th minutes at Mestalla, and Chilean Pellegrini was sent from the dugout eight minutes from time.
The former Real Madrid and Villarreal boss missed Valencia's last-minute winner from Aritz Aduriz, having watched his side lead twice in the first half with goals from Jose Rondon.
Despite being down to nine men it scored in the 80th minute through Julio Baptista to make it 3-3 before conceding the late goal.
"I've never seen a refereeing performance like this in Spain before," the normally stoic Pellegrini said. "I don't want to add any more. Spanish football is already in flames about how to do it and I'm not going to go into details about the performance."
The referee said in his match report that as he and his team made their way to the changing rooms they were accosted by players and members of the Malaga coaching staff, who directed insults at them.
Barcelona won its 14th straight Spanish league game with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Racing Santander. Pedro Rodriguez and Lionel Messi scored in the first half and Andres Iniesta added another after the restart to send the league leaders seven points clear of Real Madrid.
Also, Luis Fabiano scored a hat-trick to help give Sevilla a 4-1 win over Levante.
