Star striker sent off after winning goal celebration

But the star striker had already been booked about 10 minutes earlier for a clumsy tackle on Gabriel Martinelli.Under FIFA rules, a player taking off their shirt in celebration instantly receives a yellow card. A second yellow card in the same match becomes a red card.

Referee Ismail Elfath seemed loathed to send Aboubakar off - he smiled and gave him a hug before giving him his marching orders.Aboubakar is the first player to score and be sent off in the same match at the World Cup since Zinedine Zidane for France in the 2006 final against Italy. Brazil, which had already qualified for the knockout stage after victories over Serbia and Switzerland, will face South Korea in the round of 16.Brazil finished with six points, the same as Switzerland but the South Americans had a better goal difference. The Swiss also advanced and will face Portugal. Cameroon ended with four points and Serbia one.

They send people off for celebrations but not diving?
