Once upon a time, this European champion was a great talent, and at one time he was paid as much as 41 million euros. In the last moments, Benfica managed to beat Vizela’s team with 2:1. The scorer of the winning goal in the 101st minute was Joao Mario from a penalty.
Before the penalty kick, there was a lot of controversy surrounding the referee’s decision, but the former Inter player took responsibility and successfully scored a goal.
Mario then began to rejoice along with his teammates and fans, but was unaware of the folly he had done while celebrating.
Namely, he took off his shirt and threw it away. Uncontrolled adrenaline then brought him a big problem.
“You’ve already got a yellow card,” a teammate shouts to him, after which Mario starts to grab his head in disbelief.
On that occasion, the Portuguese midfielder uttered several curse words. Soon after, the referee approached him, followed the rules and gave him a red card. He now faces a one-match suspension.
After the game, he admitted that he completely forgot he had a yellow card, which speaks volumes for his lack of concentration.
