Edinson Cavani was sent off for slapping the man who gave him a prostate exam

You definitely have to file this act under unsportsmanlike.

Hell, even the creators of American Pie stayed away from this sort of behaviour. Chile beat Uruguay 1-0 in the Copa America quarter-final last night, and one of the game’s turning points was the sending off of Edinson Cavani after an hour.

Cavani was shown a second yellow card after lightly flicking Chilean defender Gonzalo Jara’s face after the Mainz defender stuck is finger into the striker’s… well, take a look for yourself.

Rude, lewd and crude from Jara. Chile eventually took the lead with ten minutes to go through Juventus defender Mauricio Isla, and the hosts will face either Peru or Bolivia in the semi-final.

At least Cavani will be spared the expense of a prostate exam for the next year.
