UNCOVERED: Boca juniors game ends with 10 red cards as world cup referee loses plot in cup final - Caught on Camera

Argentine referee Facundo Tello warmed up his left arm for the World Cup on Sunday by sending off 10 players in a domestic cup final.

The trigger-happy official dismissed the stars during Racing Club's 2-1 win against Boca Juniors in the Trofeo de Campeones de la Superliga final. Seven of the red cards were shown in the aftermath of teenager Carlos Alcaraz's last-gasp winner in extra-time.

Tello's willingness to dismiss players may concern international chiefs ahead of the World Cup, as the 40-year-old is on FIFA's list of referees for the tournament. It's just 13 days until hosts Qatar play Ecuador in the opening game at the Al Bayt Stadium.
