In a surprising turn of events during a match in Peru, Atletico Awajun striker Sebastian Munoz was shown a red card for unsportsmanlike conduct after he was caught on camera seemingly urinating by the side of the pitch.
The incident occurred as Munoz waited to take a corner while the opposition goalkeeper received treatment.
The controversial moment unfolded when Munoz, facing away from the pitch and an area devoid of spectators, appeared to relieve himself. Though his back was turned to the camera and he was not directly visible to the fans, players from Cantorcillo FC noticed his actions and promptly brought it to the attention of the referee.
The referee, upon being alerted by Cantorcillo FC players, issued Munoz a red card, sending him off the field for the breach of conduct.
The decision sparked discussions about the appropriateness of the punishment, given that Munoz’s actions were not visible to the crowd and occurred in an area away from the main playing field.
