Racing Santander fined for lighter thrown from stands

Racing Santander fined €301 for a lighter thrown from the stands during Sunday's match against Real Madrid.

Racing Santander has been sanctioned by the RFEF's Disciplinary Committee for an incident during Sunday's match against Real Madrid. A lighter was thrown from the stands in the 78th minute, landing near the fourth official without making contact. The incident occurred during a VAR review by referee José Luis Munuera Montero of a potential handball by Tchouameni in the penalty area, which was ultimately ruled not to warrant a penalty.

The referee documented the incident in the match report, noting that phase 1 of the object-throwing protocol was activated and a public address announcement was made. The Disciplinary Committee has imposed a fine of €301 for minor disruption of match order, applying the lower-middle range of the penalty scale under article 117 of the regulations governing such offences.
