Gregore was sent off after 30 seconds for a boot to the head, the fastest red card in a Libertadores final, yet Botafogo still beat Atlético Mineiro 3-1.
3 of 5 · Intercontinental Cup
Celtic against Racing Club in 1967 ended in the Battle of Montevideo. How many players were sent off in that play-off?
