Afriyie Acquah sent-off as Torino draw with Pescara

Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah was red-carded for a two-footed lunge in Torino’s 0-0 draw at newly-promoted Serie A side Pescara on Wednesday night.

Acquah had earlier received a yellow card for tripping a Pescara player but gave the referee no choice moments later with his late lunge in the 45th minute.

Acquah was the second Torino player who did not complete the game as his veteran teammate Guiseppe Vives was also given his marching orders i n the 78th minute for a late tackle.

The 24-year-old was making his fifth Serie A appearance of the season for Torino.

He will now miss Torino's next match against AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Torino dropped further to 14th place on the Serie A league log after winning only one of their opening five matches (two draws, two losses and one win).
