11 suspensions! Pulgar racks up missed games through bookings at Flamengo

Flamengo were already 2-0 down when the referee sent off Pulgar against Red Bull Bragantino

Erick Pulgar's red card in the 3-0 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino leaves Flamengo without him. However, this will not be the defensive midfielder's first suspension for the Rubro-Negro, as it will be his 11th.

The Chilean punched a Bragantino player in the back of the head while the match was still 2-0. As a result, the midfielder will miss the game against Santos in the 10th round of the Brasileirão at the Maracanã on Sunday (05).
