Antony Receives Direct Red Card, Set to Miss Real Betis' Clash Against Real Madrid

Antony, the Brazilian winger for Real Betis, received a direct red card during the final moments of their recent match against Getafe. The incident occurred after the ball had been played, with Antony committing a reckless tackle on Getafe's Juan Iglesias. This marks Antony's first direct red card since joining Betis in the winter transfer window. 

As a result of the expulsion, Antony will be unavailable for Real Betis' upcoming match against Real Madrid. The referee's report will determine whether the suspension is limited to this single match or extended further. Teammate Isco has called for a review of the incident, suggesting that it was unclear whether there was contact during the challenge. 

Prior to the red card, Antony had been instrumental in Betis' performance, providing a brilliant assist to Isco for the opening goal. His expulsion, however, overshadowed his earlier contribution.
