Lecco's Bunino is sent off for urinating next to the pitch


Former Juventus striker Cristian Bunino was sent off after he was caught urinating on the edge of the pitch before his start for Serie C side Lecco.


Bugnino was about to come off the bench in the 76th minute of the Group A match in Piacenza when nature called and he chose to urinate discreetly.

Unfortunately for the 26 -year-old, he was caught by a match official and shown a red card on Sunday.

Lecco boss Luciano Foschi sees it as severe punishment for the former Italy Under- 19 international.

" It's the rule and it has to be followed, but I hope the officials will use common sense because he didn't offend anyone and nobody saw it, " Fosci told Gazzetta dello Sport.

" I expected a yellow card, but the referee made no mistake. What about Bunino? In my opinion, he didn't even know what was going to happen. "

The game ended in a 0-0 draw.
