In a dramatic turn of events during Morocco’s 2-0 defeat against South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), midfielder Sofyan Amrabat faced an unusual red card situation that added to the woes of the Atlas Lions’ elimination. The Manchester United loanee initially received a yellow card in the 64th minute, and his misfortune continued in the 94th minute.

As the last defender, Amrabat committed a foul, leading to a second yellow card from referee Mahmood Ali Mahmood Ismail. However, VAR intervened, and after a meticulous review, instead of rescinding the yellow card, the decision was upgraded to a straight red card. This peculiar sequence left fans and even the linesman surprised, prompting social media to light up with jests and remarks.

Amrabat’s red card saga adds to the challenges faced by Manchester United players in the Afcon tournament, with the midfielder set to return to Fiorentina after the loan period concludes.
