It was the gesture that caused the card.

Less than 24 hours after what happened at the Monumental stadium, the midfielder tried for the goal apologies to his colleagues from Mouth for his attitude and recognized that he spawned “something that wasn’t needed”.
“At first I was happy with the win, which is very important for us. But watching the videos and the madness that was, I felt a little sorry for what I did, I generated something that was not needed.
