Nico Lopez scored an equalizing goal in the 39th minute against Fiorentina on Sunday, but he certainly paid a price for it.
Neto, the Fiorentina goalkeeper, came well out of the box to challenge the hard-charging Lopez. He was late but followed through with the tackle anyway, completely upending the Hellas Verona midfielder and earning a yellow card in the process.
