Keeper left stunned after he is sent off as time-wasting tactic comes back to bite him

GOALKEEPER Rodrigo Moura was sent off for time-wasting during his Chaves side's clash with Portimonense yesterday.

The Brazilian dawdled over a goal kick with his side leading 2-0 in the 88th minute, only to be shocked when the ref took action.

Moura was already on a yellow card as he dallied over his kick.

Ref Manuel Mota brandished his yellow card, then took a few paces before seemingly realising that Moura had already been booked.

Mota shook his head as he flashed his red card.

Moura's face was a picture of confusion as he waved his arms and protested the decision.

Mota was having none of it, however, repeatedly pointing at the tunnel for the 27-year-old to leave the field.

Chaves had earlier taken the lead through Juninho's strike on the half hour.

Issah Abass made it two on 73 minutes, before his side's late scare.

Following Moura's dismissal, Chaves called on sub goalkeeper Goncalo Filipe to see the game out.

The match marked the 22-year-old's league debut, and he managed to see it through with a clean sheet.

Moura was only playing because of regular No1 Paulo Vitor's injury.

With a suspension due to kick in, third choice Filipe could be handed a start for their clash with Estoril next Saturday.

Chaves' win saw them climb to ninth in the Portuguese top flight table.

Portimonense, meanwhile, sit 14th.
