We’ve seen some absurd refereeing decisions lately, but nothing rivals this bizarre sending-off in Portugal.
Porto defender Danilo received his marching orders from referee Luis Godinho – after the official ran into him.
Danilo said on Instagram: “I have seen and reviewed the footage more than a hundred times and honestly I can not understand why this man made such a decision.
“I’ve seen many incidents in football but this was undoubtedly the most shameful!”
Honestly, you’d be hard pressed to disagree with him.
Porto were taking on Moreirense in the Portuguese equivalent of the League Cup, a match they ended up losing 1-0 as they finished with nine men.
Probably a day best forgotten for all involved.
