A Brazilian soccer player who grabbed the yellow card and showed it to the referee has been suspended for six games by the South American football confederation.
After realising that Chilean referee Carlos Chandia was going to show him his second yellow card in the November 5 match against Argentine club Estudiantes in the Copa Sudamericana, Botafogo defender Andre Luis sprinted toward the referee and grabbed the card from his hand, hoisting it into the air before quickly giving it back.
The six-games suspension is valid for all competitions organized by the South American confederation, Brazilian media reported.
Botafogo drew 2-2 at the Engenhao stadium in Rio de Janeiro, a result that eliminated the Brazilian club from the quarterfinals of the tournament.
