Amburu’s bitter night: red and elimination in the Europa League

The participation of the Venezuelan Jon Aramburu and the Royal Society in the UEFA Europa League reached a bitter end, marked by a blunt defeat against Manchester United and the expulsion of the Venezuelan player.

The match, corresponding to the round of 16, culminated with a score of 4-1 in favor of Manchester United, led by an outstanding Bruno Fernandes, who took the ball home thanks to his hat-trick. The party was involved in controversy due to the granting of two questionable penalties.

The night became especially difficult for Jon Aramburu, who entered the pitch in the 56th minute, hoping to revitalize his team’s defense. However, his participation was truncated in the 63rd minute, when he was expelled with a direct red card.

Details of the expulsion:

• Aramburu entered the field replacing Zubeldia.
• Minutes later he committed a foul on a Manchester United player, who faced a clear goal chance.
• The arbitrator showed the direct red card.
• This leaves the Royal Society with 10 men in the field.

This expulsion meant the first for Aramburu in an international competition, and sealed its participation in the European tournament with a total of 9 played games, 5 of them as a starter.

The Royal Society said goodbye to the Europa League with a global result of 5-2, after the draw on the first leg.
