Marta Vieira da Silva, the Brazilian soccer legend known simply as Marta, may have ended her international football career with a red card during Brazil's Olympic group stage match against Spain on Wednesday. Marta went for a ball and ended up kicking Laia Codina in the head as she tried to redirect the ball.
While no one wanted to see it end like this, Alexi Lalas called the challenge a "rash and dangerous action" that justified the straight red. Marta couldn't believe the call and lefr the field in tears after she was consoled by both teammates and opponents.
