Manager in trouble
NZPA-AFP Toluca The Paraguayan manager, Cayetano Re faces a touch-line ban at the rest of his country’s World Cup matches after being ordered off the field in yesterday’s 2-2 draw with Belgium. Mr Re aged 44, who has anxiously stalked the touch-line at all three of Paraguay’s matches, was twice led off the field during yesterday’s game. He first rushed on after 54 minutes when the star player, Julio Cesar Romero was booked after a midfield fracas. A gesticulating Mr Re joined in the melee and had to be ordered off by
the referee, Bogdan Dotschev, of Bulgaria. Seven minutes from time he was led off the playing area altogether by an F.I.F.A. official and banished from the team bench after again rushing on to the pitch. That counts for a sending off and, going on past experience, F.I.F.A. might well force him to watch the rest of his team’s matches from the stands. However, Mr Re said he only got up to congratulate his team when it scored and on another occasion to separate the players when a full-scale fight threatened. “I was sitting down
when the F.I.F.A. official asked me to leave,” he said. Paraguay came from behind twice to earn the draw with two goals from Roberto Cabanas in the second half. Belgium’s goals were scored by Frank Vercauteren and Daniel Veyt. In the other Group B match Mexico beat Iraq, 1-0, before 108,000 fans, Fernando Quirarte scoring in the fifty-fourth minute.
