There are many things that happen in the World Cup. History is broken while new records are set.
On Tuesday, Colombia's Carlos Sanchez received the second quickest red card in the world cup history, after diving to deny Japan a goal in their first match of Group H.
The second quickest red card in the world cup history and the first one in the ongoing Russia World Cup 2018 saw Colombia's Carlos Sanchez being sent off and Japan awarded a penalty.
The Japanese players had outplayed Colombia’s goalkeeper, David Ospina and were set to score when Carlos Sanchez used his arm to stop the shot. The red card comes after just two minutes and 56 seconds of their World Cup clash.
The first quickest red card belongs to Uruguay's Jose Alberto Batista, who was red-carded after just 54 seconds in 1986. He got sent off during their final group match against Scotland in Mexico.
The match referee, Damir Skomina didn’t hesitate to point to the spot while pulling out from his back short pocket the “devil’s card.”
