Former Nigeria youth international Chidi Osuchukwu was red carded for the first time since he departed the shores of the country in search of the proverbial golden fleece after the 2013 Fifa Under 20 World Cup.

The attacking midfielder took the walk of shame six minutes before the interval, as Sporting Braga II lost 3 - 1 at home to Feirense .

Before the ex Dolphins star was sent off, Braga were leading the opponents 1 - 0, but Feirense exploited their numerical superiority by scoring three goals through Tonel (2 ) and Cafu.

Chidi Osuchukwu has suited up 9 times in the Segunda Liga, netting once against Desportivo Aves mid - August.

Prior to Wednesday evening’s tie at the Estádio 1º de Maio,he had been cautioned only two times in the league in 35 appearances for both the reserve team and the main squad.

Sporting Braga II sit 20th on the 24 - team table after 11 matches played in the second - tier.
