DTotD: Player slaps linesman for getting him sent off

Nobody likes a snitch. Even if it's your job to do so, Montevideo defender Diogo will slap you across the face for snitching on him, as he did to one linesman in the final minutes of his side's 1-0 loss to Danubio in the Uruguay Primera Division.

Getting frustrated with an opponent's time-wasting tactics in the corner, Diogo kicked out at him right in front of the linesman, who alerted the ref and got Diogo sent off. Diogo did not appreciate this, so he went over to that linesman and gave him a stiff slap to the side of the head. Stunned by this, the linesman reacted calmly and Diogo trudged off. The ref then blew the whistle for full time and Danubio's master plan to protect their lead was complete.
