The Marta red-card moment at the 2024 Olympics will go down in women’s soccer history. The legendary women’s soccer star, whose full name is Marta Vieira da Silva, received a red card in stoppage time of the first half of Brazil’s match against Spain for a dangerous high kick that clipped Spain’s Olga Carmona in the head. The referee issued a straight red card and Marta was ejected from the game, leaving her team to compete with 10, rather than 11, players on the field. Spain eventually eked out a 2-0 victory over Brazil, scoring two goals in the second half and securing their spot in the quarterfinals.
