Euro 2022: Spanish sub Misa Rodriguez booked after ‘embarrassing’ touchline outburst
Spain’s dramatic defeat to England in the quarter-finals of Euro 2022 was too much to take for goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez.
Footage has emerged of Spain’s substitute goalkeeper kicking out at a water bucket on the side of the pitch after Ella Toone’s late equaliser in normal time.
Spain had opened the scoring early in the second half through striker Esther Gonzalez but failed to hold on to their lead.
Many of the Spanish side were angered by the decision to award Toone’s goal, claiming foul play in the build-up. Yet, it was Rodriguez who reacted the strongest to the incident.
In a clip posted on Twitter, the Real Madrid keeper is seen kicking a nearby water bucket in frustration, the contents of which appeared to be empty.

As expected, social media was quick to react to the video and the clip has been shared more than 1000 times so far.
The original tweet was captioned: “No context Euros, England vs Spain.”
Meanwhile, a second put: “Lmao. So this is why she got the yellow.”
Some couldn’t believe that Rodriguez had kicked the bucket that hard. One wrote: “Mate she nearly broke her foot.”
Others chose to condemn Rodriguez’s behaviour. “Embarrassing behaviour”, stressed another user.

Yet, they were second best for the majority of the match, with Spain’s relentless pressing game pinning the Lionesses back in their own half and stopping the likes of Beth Mead and
