In one of the most bizarre fashions to receive a
red card
in
football
, Peruvian player Sebastian Munoz was given the marching orders by the referee for
urinating
on the field.
The incident happened in the middle of a match between
Atletico Awajun
and Cantorcillo FC during the lower-division tournament Copa
Peru
. In the 71st minute of the game, Awajun earned a corner, which took a while to be taken as the Cantorcillo goalkeeper was being treated for a minor injury.
Seeing the game halted, Munoz, who stood beside the corner flag waiting to resume the game, turned his back to the game to urinate on the side wall.
Noticing Munoz's act, the Cantorcillo players brough it to the referee's attention.
The angry referee paced towards Munoz and immediately flashed the red card as the player stared at him in shock.
In similar such instances in the past, former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann relieved himself pitchside as he jumped over the hoardings to urinate and returned just in time to stop an opposition attack.
In another such disgusting incidents, England legend Gary Lineker defecated on the pitch during a 1990 World Cup match against Ireland.
