Lisandro Martinez received a kick to the face: Hirving Lozano attempted an 'overhead bicycle kick'.

The Mexican national team tries to break the parity in the match against Argentina, in the second round of Group C of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, but has not had much clarity. Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano was precisely the protagonist of a failed attempt: he performed a 'bicycle kick', but did not calculate well and kicked Lisandro Martinez in the face.

The duel on the grass of the Lusail Iconic Stadium is being played with a lot of tension and the little collective effectiveness makes the players resort to individual actions. Under this context, the 'Tri' could not cause much damage to Emiliano 'Dibu' Martinez's goal, which is why coach Gerardo Martino looked worried.

The pressure was increasing and Hirving Lozano chose to perform an acrobatic maneuver: the ball was in the air and he performed a 'bicycle kick'. The decision seemed to be correct, but 'Chucky' missed and hit Lisandro Martinez directly in the face, who had intervened with a header clearance.

The Argentine national team's defender was very hurt and fell on top of his opponent, who quickly apologized. Italian referee Daniele Orsato only penalized the scene as a dangerous play and did not show a yellow card.
