In the Turkish league, there was an incredible incident. Antalyaspor's Shoya Nakajima came onto the pitch and saw red after 15 seconds. To make things worse, his family watched it all unfold in the stands.

It was not his debut in Turkey, but his family travelled from Japan to watch him live. However, they saw him see red after just 15 seconds. 

He had a few minutes in the last match against Kayserispor, which his team lost 1-0. This time, in the home game with Adana Demirspor, he came on with so much excitement with half an hour to go that he got sent off.

With the score at 0-1, Nakajima replaced Ghacha and, without 15 seconds, he made a criminal challenge on his opponent's ankle. 

The referee showed him a yellow card, but the VAR intervened and the card was upgraded to red. In fact, Shoya did not even protest the decision. The match ended 0-3 and the face of his mother, and the rest of his family, was of immense disappointment.
