The two players from Antigua & Barbuda were given their marching orders by referee Wikelson Bonnet for the same offence, with Scipio's long dreadlocks drawing attention from the players. Scipio, who plays for Roaring Lions FC, has dreadlocks that reach down to his ankles. The match was part of the Concacaf Nations League, a competition that brings together national teams from North and Central America.
The two red cards were given in quick succession, with Greene being the first to be sent off for pulling Scipio's dreadlocks. Knight followed suit shortly after, repeating the same offence and receiving a red card. The two red cards were a significant blow to Antigua & Barbuda, but the team's 5-0 victory was never in doubt.
