Ballboys sent off
At Real Betis's recent La Liga game at home to Atlético Madrid, all of the ballboys were sent off.
With Betis clinging to a 1-0 advantage as the game entered six minutes of added-time, referee Miguel Ángel Ayza Gámez became incensed by the ballboys refusing to return the ball (allegedly following orders from club officials).
After the Atlético players complained, Gámez's patience eventually snapped, brandishing red cards to all 14 of them.
