Former Everton midfielder James Rodriguez was sent off for Al Rayyan yesterday.
James was trying to get his side an equaliser while Al Rayyan were 2-1 down away to Al-Arabi on Saturday, when he was scythed down by opposition player Aaron Boupendza on the edge of the box.
Even though James and Al Rayyan were awarded a free-kick, the Colombian midfielder was booked for protesting too much with the referee.
James reacted to the booking by protesting even more at the official, with his Al Rayyan team-mates having to pull him back from getting too close to the referee.
But James had already done enough to earn himself a second booking and therefore a red with his protestations - and the drama did not end there.
The Colombian reacted with more fury and sarcastically applauded the referee for giving him the red card. He then took his shirt off as he was sprinting down the tunnel towards the dressing room.
