Boca Unidos Keeper Sent-Off For Lumping Ball Into Ballboy’s Face From Point-Blank Range (Video)
By Chris Wright
In which veteran Boca Unidos ‘keeper Gaston Sessa (eventually) sees red for walloping a ball into a ballboy’s face from a couple of yards away, after taking umbrage at how long it took the ball to be returned to him for a goal-kick – a delay the ballboy in question had absolutely nothing to do with…
Sessa was then sent-off by the referee with minutes of the match remaining, but only after the kid took an age to go down in order to receive ‘treatment’ for his boshed conk.
Sessa may well have been attempting to hoof the ball over the ballboy and into the terraces, but frankly, if he failed to hit a 100×40 foot-square area of empty seats from a few yards away then we’d suggest he stick to the story that he was intentionally aiming a pinpoint pot-shot at an innocent kid’s face just to spare his blushes!

Sorry, but both are complete tools here. The ballboy milked that dry. Shameless
12 seconds from impact to reaction.
TWELVE SECONDS.
This guy is a real piece of work, I live in Argentina and we see this type of thing all the time from him.
This is something he did a few years back when playing for Velez… My favourite part is him coaching the referee on how he catches the ball!

Talk about a delayed reaction, I actually have no sympathy for that kid lol.
He didn’t mean it, there were two balls on the pitch. One thrown back from the stand by a fan. The ball-wimp rolls another to the ‘keeper who looks like he’s just trying to blast it from the pitch.
yeah, but according to @Garth, the guy is a real toss pot, so he was judged based on his reputation. The kid, tho- my gawd!
