DUTCHMAN Clarence Seedorf was bizarrely sent off in Botafogo's 2-1 win over Madureira in Brazil on Sunday for arguing with the referee over where he should leave the pitch after being substituted.
His stoppage-time dismissal capped an afternoon in which Botafogo was also awarded a penalty, only for the referee to change his mind as Seedorf was about to take the kick.
The first-half spot-kick was awarded with the game still goalless when Rafael Marques appeared to be fouled in the penalty area.
Former AC Milan, Ajax, Sampdoria and Real Madrid midfielder Seedorf had began his run-up when the referee stopped the game, consulted his linesman and changed his mind, saying that Marques had been passed the ball by a player in an offside decision.
Botafogo protested angrily.
On being substituted at the end, Seedorf, who scored the winning goal in the 68th minute, walked towards the Botafogo bench but was ordered by the referee to go off on the other side of the pitch to save time. Seedorf protested, was booked, turned his back on the referee and was given another yellow card.
