Two Antigua and Barbuda players were sent off after pulling the dreadlocks of Anguilla forward Aedan Scipio during their Concacaf Nations League clash.
Scipio, 36, came off the bench in the 69th minute with Anguilla already trailing 5-0 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
The forward’s dreadlocks, which reach his ankles, quickly became the centre of attention.
Just three minutes after his introduction, Antigua and Barbuda defender Keon Greene was shown a straight red card for pulling Scipio’s dreadlocks.
The unusual incident did not end there.

Antigua and Barbuda were reduced to nine players in added time when Shalon Knight was also sent off after pulling Scipio’s dreadlocks from behind and bringing him to the ground.
Scipio has become known for his exceptionally long dreadlocks, which are so lengthy that he uses a band around his waist to keep them tied to his body.
The Anguilla forward’s distinctive hairstyle has now proved to be an unusual hazard for opponents, with two players dismissed after incidents involving his hair in the same match.
Anguilla are ranked 210th in the FIFA men’s world rankings, with only San Marino below them.
