Anguilla player's long hair causes two red cards in Nations League match

During a CONCACAF Nations League match between Antigua and Barbuda and Anguilla, two players from Antigua and Barbuda received direct red cards for pulling the hair of Anguilla player Aedan Scipio.

Scipio, a 36-year-old striker known for his exceptionally long dreadlocks that reach his ankles, entered the match in the 69th minute while his team was trailing 0-5. Shortly after his substitution, Keon Greene was sent off for pulling Scipio's hair. In stoppage time, Shalon Knight received a second red card for a nearly identical offense.

Antigua and Barbuda coach Jacques Passy noted that while the first incident was clear, the second occurred as defenders attempted to grab the player's jersey but inadvertently caught his hair. Despite the two dismissals, Antigua and Barbuda maintained their 5-0 lead to finish the match with nine players.
