Brazil great Marta goes off in tears after red card

Brazil's all-time leading goalscorer Marta walked off the pitch in tears after being shown a straight red card against Spain in the Olympic women's football tournament.

Marta, who will retire from international football this year, was sent off for narrowly missing Olga Carmona's head with a dangerous high-footed tackle during the group stage game in Bordeaux.

The 38-year-old will miss the quarter-finals at Paris 2024 should her side qualify.

Marta won Olympic silver at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, losing to the United States on both occasions.

She is the all-time leading scorer in World Cups, men's or women's, with 17 goals in 23 appearances across six tournaments.
