HONEST OPPONENT HAS RED RESCINDED

Image
D.C. United's Luciano Acosta was sent off in the match against the Philadelphia Union, until his opponent did something unbelievably sporting A red card being rescinded in soccer after a post-game review is hardly unheard of. But for it to happen moments after the card was given is something that rarely ever (maybe never) happens – and it took a unique act of sportsmanship for it to occur. Luciano Acosta of D.C. United found himself on the wrong side of the referee in the second half of his team’s match against the Philadelphia Union. With D.C. trailing 1-0, Acosta tangled with Haris Medunjanin on the sideline, with both fighting for a ball that ended up drifting out of play. Medunjanin went down and a foul was called. Referee Sorin Stoica immediately came over and showed a stunned Acosta a straight red card. A yellow card may have been considered harsh, but the red was shocking and players on the Union appeared to agree, with Alejandro Bedoya seeming to commiserate with Ac...

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has been trying to quell the tension arising from the quit notice by some N `orthern youths over separatist agitations in the South- East, but analysts demand more than meetings from the government , writes GBENRO ADEOYE The events of the Nigerian Civil War , also known as the Biafran War, remain etched in the minds of all those who witnessed them . It was fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra , an area dominated by Igbo .
