In one such incident, in an AFA women’s soccer tournament game, referee Estefanía Pinto changed her decision and brandished a red card after showing yellow first.
This came about as a result of defender Maria Belen Taborda applying a vicious headbutt to Ludmila Ramrez, causing referee Estefana Pinto to amend her decision.
It can be seen that at first she took the yellow from the defender, but when she saw the blood on Ramírez’s face, and with the assistance of her allies, Pinto revoked the warning and gave her a red card to remove her from the field of play.
Watch video:
¡UFFFF, TREMENDO CHOQUE! 💥 Por este cabezazo a destiempo sobre Ludmila Ramírez fue expulsada María Belén Taborda.
🟨 En primera instancia, la árbitra Estefanía Pinto amonestó, pero luego rectificó su sanción.🟥
