The Copa Libertadores final got a whole lot spicier on Saturday as AtlƩtico Mineiro and Botafogo faced off.
Despite the clubs sitting nine places apart in theĀ BrasileirĆ£o table, there is clearly no love lost as their clash sparked into life with a sending off after just 31 seconds.
Botafogo midfielder Gregore was sent for a very early bath at theĀ Estadio Monumental for a high-footed lunge on his opposite number Fausto Vera.
TheĀ Estrela SolitĆ”ria were hoping to make history in Buenos Aires, having never previously won the competition, but this definitely wasn't what they had in mind.
