Argentine soccer player cold-cocks referee for yellow card (VIDEO)

A hot-headed soccer player lost his mind and knocked out the referee of an Argentine second division game with a vicious sucker punch after getting a yellow card.


Alejandro Roncaglia levelled referee Arnaldo Beron with the cheap shot and now faces a lengthy ban and possible criminal charges. Beron was laid out after showing the Ferro defender a yellow card for a foul against a player from opposing team Tiro Federal.



Beron was knocked unconscious and had to be hospitalized, prompting him to press charges against Roncaglia — the brother of Fiorentina and Argentina national team star Facundo Roncaglia.

"I don't remember anything, I woke up in the hospital," Beron told TyC Sports of Argentina Tuesday.

Argentina’s referee union has demanded the cancellation of the entire next match day in a show of support for Beron.
