A shocking incident occurred during a Copa Peru match between Atletico Awajun and Cantorcillo FC, resulting in the sending off of Atletico Awajun’s striker, Sebastian Munoz.
Munoz was caught on camera allegedly urinating by the side of the pitch while waiting to take a corner kick. The incident took place while the opposition’s goalkeeper was receiving medical treatment, and Munoz’s back was turned away from the pitch and the camera, facing an area without spectators.
However, opposition players noticed Munoz’s actions and alerted the referee, who promptly gave him a red card for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The incident has sparked reactions on social media, with some fans expressing shock and disgust, while others sympathize with Munoz, citing the call of nature.
Atletico Awajun, a third-division team competing in the Copa Peru play-offs, and Peruvian football officials have yet to comment on the incident.
The match continued with Atletico Awajun playing with 10 men, and the outcome of the game was not disclosed.
