This is what you call a crunching tackle!
Puebla midfielder Francisco Torres was given his marching orders during his side's 3-0 defeat to Pumas UNAM, as he lunged into a horrendous scissor tackle on Fidel Martinez.
Perhaps surprisingly Torres holds the ignominious honour of being the first player to be sent off this season, after 14 games of the campaign.
Luckily for Martinez, he escaped the incident unharmed.
