Mexico hero flinches
Disgusting spitting attack on referee – red!
These are scenes that have no place on the soccer pitch - but are currently doing the rounds on the internet. Hector Herrera, the 105-time Mexico international, caused a disgusting scandal at his club Houston Dynamo's MLS match against Seattle Sounders.
But there was actually no reason for this outburst! Herrera "only" received a yellow card for a really unnecessary and harsh foul in midfield. But even this was clearly not justified for the 34-year-old Mexican. As the former Porto and Atletico player walked away, he spat in the direction of the referee, who initially did not even notice the offense. It was only when the VAR referee Armando Villarreal pointed out the spitting attack that he showed red!
"If you do that, you're at the mercy of the referee."
Houston lost to Seattle on ten penalties and was eliminated from the Cup playoffs. Coach Ben Olsen was angry after the game: "I haven't spoken to him about it yet, only to the team. But from what I've seen, he spat at the referee, and when you do that, you're at the mercy of the referee."
