This Wednesday evening, Olympique de Marseille is playing away on Sporting CP's pitch.

While they were leading 1-0 just seconds before halftime, the Marseille players thought they had won a penalty after a foul was called on Emerson, OM’s Italian left-back.

Problem is, after checking with VAR, the match referee decided to cancel the penalty and award a foul in Sporting’s favor.

The reason? According to him, Emerson had simulated.

And when there’s simulation, that means… a yellow card. Problem is, the Marseille defender had already been shown a yellow card. Yellow + yellow = red, Emerson is sent off!

OM will finish with ten against eleven.
