😱 Keeper sees red after a night of fury, but stand-in shines; watch

😱 Keeper sees red after a night of fury, but stand-in shines; watch Veteran Nahuel Guzmán, 40, had a "night of fury" last Tuesday (11). The Tigres goalkeeper was sent off for shoving referee Iván Bartón, who worked at the World Cup, in the closing stages of the Leagues Cup clash against the Vancouver Whitecaps. The "detail" is that he then "re-enacted" the shove on an assistant referee and also hurled a trash can toward the tunnel before heading to the locker room. Tigres' good fortune was that they still had substitutions available, and the team's new goalkeeper made all the difference for the Mexican side to qualify in front of their home fans. Here's what happened next. Did he mistake him for a rival? The score was 1-1 in the single-match third round, and Tigres were already down to 10 men because of Lainez's red card (88'). Then Guzmán collected the ball after a Whitecaps attempt and charged forward to take a free kick from midfield. Iván Bartón "got in his way," and he shoved the Salvadoran referee, who did not hesitate. Watch the sending-off moment at the end of the video below: Tigres still had three substitutions left and used two of them. Also a veteran, 37-year-old Carlos Felipe Rodríguez took over in goal before the penalty shootout. The situation became more difficult for the home side, as the Whitecaps needed only to convert one more spot kick. But Guzmán's replacement came up huge to make it 4-4. Then came sudden death, another save from him, a missed attempt by the Canadian side, and Tigres' third straight qualification on penalties. Rômulo, formerly of Inter, and Joaquim, formerly of Cuiabá and Santos, scored for the Mexican team. Tigres now await the other qualifiers to find out who their next opponent will be. The Leagues Cup has been played since 2019 (there was no 2020 edition because of the Covid-19 pandemic) and features teams from MLS and Liga MX. Messi's first title with Inter Miami was the 2023 Leagues Cup. Featured photo: Reproduction This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
