However, Puig did not finish the game after being stretchered off following a heavy challenge.

Here’s a look at the incident:

Minuto 95, 1-1 en el marcador. Esta es la entrada criminal que un jugador del Llagostera le ha hecho a Riqui Puig por detrás y que le ha hecho salir en camilla del campo. ¿Sabéis lo mejor de todo? Sólo ha sido amarilla. VERGONZOSO. pic.twitter.com/cUc55o7EFG

It’s not clear just yet the nature or severity of the injury but it comes just a week after some harsh treatment was dished out to Puig against Orihuela.

Manager Fran Garcia Pimienta complained after the match about the “brutal challenges” made on his midfielder in an attempt to stop him.

Let’s hope he’s OK.
