Scott and Antony sent off in Bournemouth‑Betis friendly

A friendly match between Bournemouth and Real Betis in Seville ended in a 2‑2 draw after both clubs were forced to send off key players. Bournemouth’s Alex Scott and Real Betis’ Antony were dismissed following a confrontation that escalated in the final minutes of the game. The incident prompted the referee to issue red cards to both players, leaving each side to finish the match with ten men.

The match, played at Betis’ home ground, saw both teams score twice, with the last goal coming in the 88th minute. The confrontation began when Scott and Antony collided in midfield, leading to a heated exchange that was deemed unsporting by the match officials. After reviewing the incident, the referee issued the red cards, and the teams had to adjust their tactics to cope with the reduced squads.

With the disciplinary action in place, the game concluded without further incident. The dismissal of Scott and Antony highlights the importance of maintaining discipline even in non‑competitive fixtures, and both clubs will likely review the incident to prevent a repeat in future matches.
