😳 Vasco down to 10 in Argentina after bizarre red card; watch

Vasco found themselves playing with 10 men after a bizarre red card incident against Boca Juniors in Argentina. On Tuesday night, Andrés Gómez was impressing with his performance for Vasco as the teams battled in the first leg of their Copa Sudamericana semifinal at La Bombonera. However, their lead was short-lived in the 19th minute of the second half.

The trouble began with a foul committed by Cuiabano, leading to a free kick. Andrés Gómez, nearby, attempted to delay the restart. This action resulted in a clash with Boca's Ascacibar, who was attempting to regain control of the game. Chilean referee Piero Maza initially showed Gómez a yellow card for his actions. But Gómez was not satisfied with the spot of the free kick and continued to make contact with Maza throughout the incident, even pushing him.

In response, Maza showed Gómez a second yellow card, resulting in his red card and subsequent dismissal from the match. Gómez, understandably furious, took his time leaving the pitch after the red card. The question remains: was the referee's decision correct, or was he too harsh on the Vasco player?
