The experienced shot stopper Razak Braimah was shown the red card very late into the game as Cordoba suffered a 2-3 home defeat to surrender their strong hold of the second automatic qualification slot in the second tier league.
Cordoba welcomed third place Leganes to the Neuvo Acangei with their sight on first place in the league but ended up dropping a step back in a game marred by a flurry of cards.
Raul Thormas opened the scoring for Cordoba from the spot midway into the first half but Alexandeer Szymanowski’s equalizer two minutes into the recess drew party for the visitors.
Unai Martinez then opened the floodgates for an eventual three red cards with a 67th minute sending off. Cordoba capitalised on their numerical advantage and duly went ahead through another spot kick from Raul with 20 minutes to go.
Razak Braimah became the second casualty to be sent off in series of cautions leading to his departure. The black stars shot stopper was given his marching off orders with seven minutes to go forcing Cordoba to concede 2 goals in one minute. Omar Ramos Suarez scored twice within 60 seconds to turn the tie on its head as Leganese leapfrogged their host into the second slot.
Hector Rodas Ramirez joined his goalkeeper in the dugout moments later in a game dented by 13 cards and 5 goals.
Braimah"s expulsion cost Cordoba second place in Spain
