U-20 player punches himself

Thanks to Ed Rae for spotting this unusual attempt at trickery.

Read the brief story and view the clip. Is there something out of balance here? The Chilean player Carrasco was feigning being punched in an effort to get his opponent dismissed from the game. Should Carrasco therefore be dismissed for this act?

  1. I've come up with three ways to send him off.

    1. "He is also guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against
    a team-mate, spectator, match offi cial or any other person."

    Does yourself count as "any other person"? Can you commit VC on yourself?

    2. Violent conduct for headbutting opponents hand. Even if its overturned, the guy still got sent off, which he deserves.

    3. USB for tactical holding (stretch I know) + USB for simulation.
