COLOMBIA’S WILMAR BARRIOS can count himself lucky after he escaped with a yellow card following this clash with Jordan Henderson.
Replays showed Barrios caught Henderson with what looked to be an intentional headbutt as the two waited for a free-kick in the closing minutes of the first half in Moscow.
Following a review by the VAR, referee Mark Geiger decided that a yellow card was sufficient punishment – but was Barrios lucky not to see red?
