Kaká gets second career red... for joke with former teammate
The former Real Madrid midfielder was sent off after a video review, despite a jovial exchange with New York Red Bulls Aurelien Collin.
Orlando midfielder Kaká was sent off in an MLS match against New York Red Bulls in bizarre circumstances after a video review, for apparently having a bit of a joke with former teammate Aurelien Collin.
Collin and Kaká played alongside each other for Orlando before the defender made the move to New York last year, and after the Brazilian had grabbed the Frenchman's face both were seen to enjoy a chuckle in what appeared to be a light-hearted exchange.
However, referee Jorge González and his assistant used the video review system and decided that Kaká was guilty of violent conduct, giving the Brazilian his marching orders while also booking two other players involved in the melée.
