Tigres goalkeeper Nahuel Guzman did everything he could to try and watch his side after being sent off in the Liga MX final.

The 37-year-old shot-stopper was dismissed in extra time against Club America after he picked up two yellow cards in the space of two minutes.

Under the Blanket

Guzman was given his marching orders and told to leave the field of play by referee Adonai Escobedo in the 95th minute.

And the red card meant that the Argentine goalkeeper had to go down the tunnel and was unable to watch on from the sidelines.

A Sneaky Tactic

However, with the Liga MX title on the line, Guzman had other ideas for the final moments of the match.

The experienced keeper instead appeared to crawl under a sponsorship blanket behind the goal and hide underneath it.

The sneaky tactic allowed him to anxiously watch on and see the outcome of the high stakes clash.

However, he may have wanted to head down the tunnel anyway with his side conceding two goals after his dismissal and ultimately losing the game 3-0.

Fans Love the Ingenious Idea

Fans loved the ingenious idea to hide away and were quick to share their opinions on social media.

One wrote: "This is incredible."

While another added: "Tom and Jerry levels of comedy. You've gotta love Mexican football!"

A third felt that the hilarious moment may have made up for the red card Guzman received.

They wrote: "Might be the dumbest foul I've ever seen but also the greatest thing I've ever seen."

An Entertaining Match

It was an enthralling affair with all three of Club America's goals coming in extra time after the first leg of the final ended in a 1-1 draw.

And Guzman wasn't the only man sent off either with teammate Raymundo Fulgencio also sent off just 15 minutes beforehand.

The game saw six cards dished out and a whopping 41 fouls recorded over the 120 minute period.

An aggregate 4-1 win for Club America ultimately sank Tigres to see the Eagles win the Apertura for the first time since 2018.
