Edinson Cavani red carded after Chile player sticks finger up his butt, then dives

We'd like to congratulate Chile defender Gonzalo Jara on pulling off one of the greatest pieces of gamesmanship of all time. First, he touches Edinson Cavani's butt. Then, he sticks a finger up there. Cavani, to his credit, does not react.

Shocked by this, Jara then dives and pretends Cavani punched him in the face. After this jerk touches his butt, sticks a finger up his butt and dives, Cavani finally loses his cool. The referee gives him a second yellow card for dissent and he's off. Minutes later, Chile score and Uruguay get knocked out of Copa America.
