Flamengo player leaves the pitch in tears after red card | OneFootball

Loaned by Flamengo to River Plate (ARG), Viña committed a hard foul in Argentine league match

The beginning of Matías Viña's journey at River Plate (ARG) has had both positive and negative points. That's because the Uruguayan is finally getting the much-desired run of games he didn't have at Flamengo. On the other hand, the left-back left the field in tears in the last match after receiving a red card.

On Wednesday (28), in River Plate's 2-0 win over Gimnasia La Plata (ARG) in the Argentine Championship, Viña made a hard tackle and received his second yellow card, being sent off 11 minutes into the second half. Luckily for the Flamengo player, the team at Estadio Monumental was already leading 2-0 and managed to hold the score. Upset, the Uruguayan put his shirt over his face and cried.

HOW DID VIÑA'S FOULS HAPPEN?

In short, both cards were given in a short period of time. Three minutes into the second half, Viña pulled his opponent in midfield, stopping a counterattack. As a result, the Uruguayan received a yellow card. Later, the left-back made a hard tackle, hitting the rival's ankle.

SO, WHAT ARE THE TERMS OF VIÑA'S CONTRACT?

Viña was loaned to River Plate for one year, for a fee of 500 thousand dollars, which is about R$ 2.7 million at the current exchange rate. In the contract, the clubs agreed on an obligation to buy if the left-back plays 50% of River Plate's matches in 2026. If this goal is met, the Argentinians will pay 5 million dollars (R$ 27 million) to Flamengo. It's important to remember that, in 2024, the Rubro-Negro invested approximately R$ 42 million to bring the left-back from Roma (ITA).

SO, HOW IS VIÑA DOING AT RIVER?

In official matches, Viña has played two games for River Plate, both victories. In his debut, against Barracas Central (ARG), the left-back loaned by Flamengo played the full 90 minutes. In the most recent round, however, the player was unable to finish the match due to his sending off.
