Although Sophia Smith, a forward for the United States women’s national team, has never competed in an Olympics, she hopes to leave her mark in Paris in 2024. However, her actions during a recent game have gotten her into some problems.

On Saturday night, Sophia Smith received a red card in a bizarre manner as the Portland Thorns defeated the North Carolina Courage 1-0. Smith received two yellow cards for time wastage in her first red card of the season, the second of which was issued in an amusing moment.

At Providence Park, the star of the U.S. women’s national team had given her team the lead with a penalty kick in the 79th minute. Smith was shown a yellow card in the 89th minute for kicking the ball away when play had been stopped, with Portland managing to hang on to a late 1-0 lead. Smith was taken out of the game by Thorns head coach Rob Gale well into stoppage time, but things only got stranger from there.

Smith snatched up a ball that had been out of play on the sideline and tried to hide beneath the bench. With a sly smile on her lips, the forward attempted the soccer equivalent of the hidden ball trick, demonstrating her obvious skill.

Referee Danielle Chesky was not amused by Sophia Smith’s antics and gave her a second yellow card.
