Cyprus captain Jason Demetriou was shown a red card for a shocking tackle in their Nations League draw with Slovenia on Tuesday

Cyprus captain Jason Demetriou was shown a straight red card for a shocking tackle in his side's UEFA Nations League draw with Slovenia on Tuesday night.

In a contest that had already produced two sending-offs at the SRC Stozice, it was the 96th-minute dismissal of Demetriou that stood out.

With the two teams locked together at 1-1, Domen Crnigoj launched a counter for the home team, only for his run to be ended by a horrendous challenge from Demetriou, who had no intention of looking at the ball as he made the tackle.
