This is just a bit crazy.
Just when he was breaking out "the worm" and all...
The only thing I can think of is that it looks like he may have been celebrating in front of opposition fans, taunting them...in which case he may have deserved something or maybe the celebration itself (shooting funs?) referenced something controversial??
Either way, it's pretty funny!
"During the celebration of this goal, referee Peñaloza went to the corner to show Martínez the direct red card for a supposedly violent show, but after talking it over, the ref choose to retire the red card from the Ecuadorian."

Lovely old google machine. Makes sense, but as far as I'm aware, once a card is awarded in a match, it can't be rescinded.
I've never heard of any booking being "retired".
Yeah it does sound strange alright...
Can you imagine Richie Winter and Richie Foran "talking it over" next year? :D
yes it can.Quote:
