VIDEO: shocking tackle by Colo Barco and his first ever red card | OneFootball

The former Boca player saw the red card after delivering a harsh kick in Racing de Strasbourg’s 1-0 defeat to Lens on matchday 13 of Ligue 1.

The Argentine Valentín Barco, who debuted for Boca as a left-back but currently plays as a midfielder, was sent off for a brutal kick in the 76th minute during Racing de Strasbourg’s 1-0 loss to Lens on matchday 13 of the French league.

The 21-year-old left-footer dribbled past an opponent a few meters ahead of his own box, but stumbled and lost the ball several meters from his reach. Then, the native of 25 de Mayo (Buenos Aires) sped up to avoid losing his position and lunged in to prevent Morgan Guilavogui from stealing the ball. However, the Senegalese forward got there first and was the victim of a very strong studs-up challenge. Immediately after, referee Jérome Brisard showed him the red card, and the former Brighton (England) and Sevilla (Spain) player was sent off for the first time in his budding career.

Eight minutes earlier, in the 69th minute, defender Ismaelo Ganiou, representing Burkina Faso, scored the only goal of the match and secured the victory for the home side, who climbed to the top of the table with 28 points (Paris Saint Germain has 27 but has yet to play this round).

Meanwhile, Racing, with Cordoba native Joaquín Panichelli starting as striker, dropped to fourth place with 22 points. Their next match will be on Thursday at home against Crystal Palace (England) for the fourth round of the Conference League, in which they currently sit seventh with 7 points. Afterwards, Barco, who has one goal and four assists in the French league, will miss the match against Stade Brestois.
