Another Juventus red card for violent conduct as Kalulu loses his cool | OneFootball

Juventus received their second red card for violent conduct in three games, seeing Pierre Kalulu receive his marching orders in the second half against Lazio.

Juventus defender Kalulu was sent off for deliberately hitting Taty Castellanos in the back during the second half of a Serie A match against Lazio on Saturday.

The Lazio striker pressed his opponent in the Juventus defensive half, and Kalulu hit him for no reason after making a back pass.

Castellanos fell to the ground in pain, touching his face, and referee Davide Massa was still urged to the pitchside monitor to review the incident. It didn’t take long for him to spot Kalulu’s violent blow and show a straight red.

It was the second time a Juventus player was sent off for violent conduct in three games. Two weeks ago, Turkish talent Kenan Yildiz faced the same punishment after hitting Monza midfielder Alessandro Bianco.

Kalulu will likely get a two-game ban like Yildiz, which means his season could be over already.
