Bahoken, 32, was clearly frustrated after Kayserispor had gone down 2-0 just 10 minutes into the game.

and the Cameroon Internacional lost it when he confronted his teammate Miguel Cardoso for giving away a free kick in a dangerous position.

After getting into Cardoso, he pushed him before slapping him on the cheek.

Despite the altercation occurring between two teammates, the referee had no choice but to reach into his pocket and dismiss Bahoken for violent conduct.

His dismissal came with over an hour to play and left his side facing an uphill battle to say the least.

And things didn’t get any easier when teammate Joseph Attamah was sent off for two yellow card offenses later in the game.
