Soccer player attacks ref with vicious cheap shot after red card


A Brazilian soccer player will undoubtedly face a long ban after he attacked a referee in a third-division match this weekend.

This was ugly:

The player, who goes by Ferreira and plays for club Guarani, grew enraged after the ref handed him a red card for an elbow to the face of an opponent. He then ran up and cheap shotted the referee with a strong push, before opponents and his own teammates fought him back.

Boa ended up winning the match 3-0. No word yet on a suspension for Ferreira.
