Ouch.

This Wednesday evening, Olympique de Marseille was playing away on the field of Sporting CP.
While they were leading 1-0 just seconds before halftime, the Marseille team thought they had won a penalty after a foul was called on Emerson, the Italian left-back of OM.
Problem is, after a VAR check, the referee decided to cancel the penalty and called a foul in favor of Sporting.
The reason? According to him, Emerson had simulated.
Simulation means... yellow card. Problem is, the Marseille defender had already been warned with a yellow card. Yellow + yellow = red, Emerson is sent off!
