Luís goes loco
André Luís snatched a yellow card from a referee earlier this month, but that’s tame compared to his previous form.
The Botafogo defender was sent off during a Campeonato Brasileiro match against Náutico in June. By the time Luís actually left the pitch, he had been arrested, the opposition fans insulted, and his team-mates pepper-sprayed in a scrap with the police.
Luís’s one-digit salute to the Náutico supporters sparked the fighting. The police arrested him for disobeying authority, claiming that he also kicked a plastic bottle into the crowd.
With a one-man advantage for more than 50 minutes, Náutico cruised to an easy 3-0 win.
