would a team lose three players to red cards... and still win the game.
Powerhouse Antigua and Barbuda took on Aruba in CONCACAF qualifying and lost a man to red cards on each side of half-time. Even two men up, Aruba couldn't find a way through the resolute defense of A&B. And fate, cruel fate doomed Aruba to a loss when Antigua and Barbuda scored a short-handed goal in the 87th minute, only to lose yet another man to a red card two minutes later.
I wonder if A&B will be able to field a full team for the next round of qualifying, or, like Cuba at Olympic qualifying, will it be forced to start the game with ten men? That was another "only in CONCACAF" moment (and the Olympic qualifying tournament was full of them...)
