Argentine professional footballer Gonzalo Higuain has been given a 2-match ban after receiving a red card in their recent 2-nil home loss against Juventus in the Serie A.
The Argentinian striker, who missed a penalty on Sunday's clash, was handed the punishment, following an on-pitch meltdown that saw him receiving his marching orders. Higuain was initially booked for dissent, but was shown the red card for his furious reaction to the referee. With the ban, Higuain will be sidelined for the upcoming matches against Latsio and Parma.
