He touches opponent's private parts, referee kicks him off the field

A rather peculiar incident that occurred in minute 54 of the match between Atletico Madrid and Getafe. While the game was stopped, defender of the visiting team Abdel Abqar approached Alexander Sørloth and touched his private parts but the mighty Norwegian center forward did not like it and threw the’opponent to the ground.

The teammates of both players made their way to the referee who, summoned by VAR, reviewed the incident on the monitor and decided to punish both Abqar and Sørloth. The defender was sent off, while the striker received a yellow card for knocking down his opponent. Pictures and video of the incident went around the world and went viral in no time.

L’Atletico Madrid won the challenge thanks to a Nahuel Molina eurogoal: the Argentine fullback intercepted the ball, moved it to his right and from outside the box unleashed a bolide under the cross of the posts. Absolutely blameless was Getafe goalkeeper David Soria, who could do nothing but collect the ball from the back of the net.

Cholo Simeone’s team is third behind Barcelona and Real Madrid and, thanks to the win over Getafe, has stretched ahead of fourth-placed Villarreal. In contrast, the team coached by José Bordalás Jiménez occupies ninth place with 35 points from 28 games, the result of 10 wins, five draws and 13 defeats. Getafe has obvious problems in the offensive department and has scored just 23 goals so far, with only last-place Real Oviedo doing worse (18).
