Mascherano gets sent off for kicking the dude who drives the stretcher

This is a new one.

ARGENTINA HAD TO settle for a 1-1 draw away to Ecuador in Quito tonight.

Sergio Aguero scored a 4th-minute penalty before Segundo Castillo equalised in the first half but the big talking point arrived when Barcelona’s Javier Mascherano was shown a straight red with two minutes to go.

While being stretchered off the pitch, the midfielder hard man decided to boot the medic driving the injury cart… supposedly for not giving him a water bottle.

That’s just rude.
