The Hobby: Soccer Player Receives Yellow Card for Excessive Tricks in South American Cup Match

Soccer is a sport where many of the soccer players try to prove themselves day by day, taking out their best moves, but apparently you can’t overdo it with magic, but you could insult rivals. This situation was experienced in South American football in a game of the Cup Macufeamong the team of Kaizer Chiefs y el Bloemfontein Celtictwo of the best-known clubs in the African country.

A video showing the moment in which the player number 15 of the team of Bloemfontein Celtic, was reprimanded at the end of the game for going too creamy, as they say colloquially in football. The attacker received the ball from the left wing, facing the defender with a couple of footsteps, feinting with the ball, and even taking tricks, passing the ball over his head. At that moment the play stopped, because the referee did not see correct this action that admonished the player.

The striker’s surprise was evident on his face, as he did not expect to receive the yellow card, especially when his team was losing this duel. The score was 3-2 in favor of the Chiefs, who at that moment already smelled the cup, since this confrontation apparently was in the final of the competition.

Generally in soccer matches, performing this type of feint is frowned upon when a player from the team that is leading the score begins to do so, as it can be understood as a mockery of the rival. The curious thing is that this timethe admonished was from the losing team at that time.

The match is apparently from the year 2017, having the Kaizer Chiefs as champions, leaving a wide result of 4-2.
