Cyprus captain Jason Demetriou was sent off six minutes into stoppage time of their Nations League game against Slovenia earlier this week following a shocking tackle.
The game already had two sending offs but the Cypriot Southend United player became the third to get sent down the tunnel after taking down Slovenia’s Domen Črnigoj to prevent him getting to the ball.
