As South Africa closed in on a record 73-0 victory in Cardiff, Etzebeth clashed with the Welsh back-rower Alex Mann, appearing to make contact with his opponent's left eye in a fracas involving several players from both sides. With two minutes left at the Principality Stadium, the 34-year-old was shown a permanent red card by the referee, Luc Ramos, after a review with the television match official, Eric Gauzins. You have a clear finger in the eyes, so for me, it's a permanent red card, Ramos said during the review.

Ronan O'Gara was sent off in last night's Top 14 defeat in Pau, the La Rochelle chief picking up a second yellow card during an astonishing 13-try clash that saw his out-half Antoine Hastoy ship the fastest red card in league history - 34 seconds.

The pair squared up after Gueye's poor pass inside the box gifted a chance to United skipper Bruno Fernandes, who fired narrowly wide. Gueye was irate and raised his left hand to slap Keane, with referee Tony Harrington immediately producing a red card, which was confirmed by VAR Paul Howard. The Premier League Match Centre said: "The referee's call of red card to Gueye for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR - with the action deemed to be a clear strike to the face of Keane."

Milan Futuro suffered a disappointing defeat on Sunday afternoon, putting in a very good performance but ultimately falling 2-1 to Villa Valle. After two weeks off due to the international break, the Futuro took to the field against their opponents on Sunday hoping to avenge the 1-0 defeat against bottom-placed Nuova Sondrio in their last league match. The first half was full of drama from the very first minutes.

Franck Kessie's second-half stunner proved decisive as 10-man Al-Ahli maintained their unbeaten start to the Saudi Pro League season with a 2-1 victory over Al-Qadsiah. Kessie picked out the bottom-left corner just two minutes after substitute Abdullah Al Salem had levelled the contest, with his effort moving Al-Ahli up to fourth in the table. Galeno curled Al-Ahli into a sixth-minute lead after the Brazilian ruthlessly punished Musab Al Juwayr's misplaced pass with a precise finish into the bottom-right corner.

Troy Parrott scored twice for the hosts before half-time, then Ronaldo was shown the first card of his international career in the second half in Dublin. A win would have secured Portugal's spot at next summer's World Cup, but they can still book their place in the tournament with a win over Armenia on Sunday. Martinez, who has now lost a World Cup qualifying match for the first time, insisted his side must quickly move on from their defeat.

Luis Enrique's side left it late before snatching all three points for the second league game in succession, following Goncalo Ramos' 94th-minute strike against Nice last weekend. Although Senny Mayulu headed a decent opportunity over early on at Groupama Stadium, PSG did break the deadlock in the 26th minute as Warren Zaire-Emery latched onto Vitinha's throughball, before firing into the roof of the net.

It's hard not to feel like we let this one get away. While New Zealand were impressive in the final quarter on Saturday, it was their worst performance in our last 11 meetings, which now stands at 6-5 in favour of the All Blacks. After a nightmare start with Tadhg Beirne's red card, we managed the 20 minutes with 14 men really well, deservedly leading 10-7 at half-time and 13-7 after 60 minutes.

The Crew blew out FC Cincinnati 4-0 in the second game of their MLS Cup Round One playoff series on Sunday at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio. Cincinnati came into the match leading by a game after winning the opener on Monday at TQL Stadium, but found itself trailing 1-0 when Max Arfsten opened the scoring for the Crew in the 33rd minute. The floodgates opened five minutes later when Cincinnati's Yuya Kubo was sent off and left his team to finish the match with 10 players.
