WATCH: Footballer sent off after embarrassing play-acting
Sao Paulo footballer Luis Fabiano was rightly sent off for this ridiculous bit of theatre during a Copa Libertadores match last night.
It was a derby match against rival side Corinthians and Fabiano was one of three players who were shown red cards during the game.
His was certainly the most well-deserved of the three - the 34-year-old pretended to have been hit in the face to get opponent John Mendoza in trouble.
The referee quite correctly sent him off after the mortifying display, although Mendoza also received a red card for the incident.
To repeat - Fabiano is 34 years of age, let’s hope he was thoroughly embarrassed when he saw the recording of his performance after the game.
