América vs. Toluca grabbed the spotlight over the weekend because of the controversial incidents that took place near the end of the match.
Antonio Mohamed fired things up in a game that ended with Helinho being sent off and assistant referee Karen DÃaz at the center of the controversy for her role in the scuffle.

“I co***ed you twice”
The match was already heated with América leading 2-1 when Shayr Mohamed, Antonio Mohamed’s son, was sent off. “El Turco” turned toward América’s bench and, with obscene gestures, sent a message to André Jardine and his coaching staff: “I co***ed you twice.”
Helinho’s red card
With his team trailing, Helinho committed a foul on Zendejas. The referee immediately showed him a straight red, which sparked a near-brawl on the field.
All hell broke loose, and Helinho slapped Zendejas twice, prompting assistant referee Karen DÃaz to step in, hug the América player, and lead him away.
That action by the officiating crew also became controversial, as DÃaz’s intervention was questioned and whether that was really her duty.

The fight continued into the locker room
And then Henry MartÃn appeared…
The América player was not even called up for the match, but he appears in a video shouting at Helinho. That reignited tempers and led to another fight.
For now, the sanction the Diablos player will receive has not been revealed, though there is talk of a three-match suspension.
