Video: Toloi loses his head and sees red for Atalanta | OneFootball

Rafael Toloi lost his head in the final stages of the Champions League play-off defeat to Club Brugge and saw red for Atalanta as he chased down an opponent.

The defender, who was wearing the captain’s armband during the 3-1 home defeat, let the frustration get to him at the 87th minute.

See how it unfolded on the Liveblog.

When Maxim de Cuyper tried to nudge him and slow down play by blocking the throw-in, Toloi completely lost his temper.

First he tried to throw the ball at De Cuyper and slipped, then chased him down and had to be held back by the officials from making the situation even worse.

He was inevitably shown a straight red card, with De Cuyper booked for the gamesmanship that provoked him.

Atalanta crashed out of the Champions League 5-2 on aggregate to Club Brugge, having lost the first leg 2-1.
