Quickest Red Card (1986)
One of the easiest tasks of a soccer player is to stay on the pitch during the game. But then there was Jose Batista from Uruguay who fouled Scotland’s Gordon Strachan. He got himself a red card, sent off the field in under a minute and broke the record for the quickest red card during the FIFA World Cup.
A Broken Nose (2014)
Ghanaian footballer, John Boye knew that the best way to defeat USA in 2014 was by using his quick feet. Only his quick feet were used a little too well, especially when they broke the nose of Clint Dempsey. Dempsey still soldiered on and despite having a hard time breathing, played until USA won 2-1.
