Las Vegas at Olympics: Lights player gets red card for groin kick
BORDEAUX, France — Las Vegas Lights midfielder Edison Azcona logged a first-half assist, but was sent off during the Dominican Republic’s 3-1 loss to Spain on Saturday after kicking an opponent in the groin.
Azcona’s assist to Angel Montes de Oca helped tie the score at 1-1 in the 38th minute, but he was shown a straight red by referee Adel Al Naqbi in first-half stoppage time. Azcona was on his back when he kicked upward at Spain defender Pau Cubarsi.
