Antony (Real Betis)
November 2025
Real Betis winger Antony apologised to supporters after being sent off late in the draw with Girona. He caught defender Joel Roca in the face while attempting an overhead kick, an action initially punished with a yellow card before VAR intervention upgraded it to a straight red. Chasing a stoppage time winner, Antony went for an acrobatic cross as Roca headed clear first, leaving his boot to crash into the defender’s face and spark a VAR review. Posting on social media, he insisted the contact was completely unintentional and expressed sadness at letting Betis fans down.
