Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar Jr, saw red as they beat Strasbourg for a second-half dive on Wednesday in his first game back since the World Cup.
PSG went on to win 2-1 thanks to a late penalty from Kylian Mbappe.
The Brazil international picked up his first yellow card in the 61st minute for catching Strasbourg midfielder Adrien Thomasson in the face with his hand and then a second caution one minute later for diving.
The forward got right in the face of referee Clement Turpin to argue the call, to no avail.
It was Neymar’s fifth red card since joining PSG for a world record fee of €222 million ($236 million) in 2017, and he will be suspended for Sunday’s game at second-place Lens.
Neymar, who was in tears after Brazil lost to Croatia in the World Cup quarterfinals, set up PSG’s opening goal at Parc des Princes for countryman Marquinhos early in the game.
