A Pontassieve player was baring down on goal after a through ball when a Subbiano coach entered the field to take him out.

The coach – wearing an orange bib – looked to protest his innocence as Pontassieve rushed to confront him.

Of course, he was shown red in what was described as the “most obvious red card in football‘s history.”

A social media user wrote: “Italy’s 6th division (Promozione).

“Pontassieve v Subbiano, the visitors’ coach enters the pitch to stop a counter-attack. Most obvious red card in football’s history.”

One fan reacted: “The hands in the air is a lovely touch.”

Another said: “Bro put his arms up like he didn’t do nothin.”

One joked: “This is unbelievable . Didn’t touch him ref.”

Another added: “Even holds his hands up as if to say he didn’t touch him.”

Someone said: “Absolutely insane!”
