CD Leganés coach, Mauricio Pellegrino instructed Kenneth Omeruo to apologise to Santi Cazorla following a strong tackle on the midfielder in the closing minutes of his team’s 2-1 loss to Villarreal on Sunday.
The incident almost caused a brawl, with the Nigeria international surrounded by aggrieved Villarreal players.
In a video uploaded by Marca on their website, Omeruo and Cazorla were seen embracing each other and with smiles on their faces, which suggests that the Spaniard has forgiven the Nigerian.
Omeruo did not go unpunished after the tackle as he was shown a yellow card by referee Eduardo Prieto in the 90th minute, though the challenge deserved a red card.
