Controversial Moment in the USA vs. Mexico Match.. Player Delivers a Double Slap to His Opponent

- The Mexican player Mateo Chavez was expelled during a friendly match between his national team and the United States team, at the "State Farm" stadium, on Sunday. In the 67th minute, near the sideline, Mateo Chavez got into a verbal altercation with his opponent Sebastian Berhalter.

At that moment, Mateo Chavez lost his temper and exploded in anger, delivering a double slap to his opponent, causing the latter to fall to the ground. At that time, players from both teams intervened and a scuffle occurred among them, before referee Sylvain Brown intervened and showed the red card to Mateo Chavez, who appeared extremely upset as he left the field.

The United States team was leading by two goals at the time of the expulsion, scored by Julian Hall and Kavan Sullivan, and then added a third goal through Malik Tillman, taking advantage of the numerical disadvantage of the opponent, ending the match with a victory for Mauricio Pochettino's players.
