You would be hard pushed to pack more into 120 seconds on a football pitch as José Luis Perlaza did in Ecuador at the weekend.

The name of his club is Barcelona SC, so it was of little surprise that the centre-half had the ability to score a 35 yard beauty when his side were trailing by a goal heading into the last quarter of the game. Unfortunately for the 31 year-old, it was at the wrong end.

And to compound things very quickly, he was given his marching orders less than two minutes later for what could be deemed a harsh red card. His arm was high, but contact was minimal in the extreme, not that it matters a whole lot it seems.

He’ll have better days.
