This was not your typical soccer flop.

A high school soccer player in Maine got off easy after sucker-punching an opponent during a game, receiving only a yellow card in a video that has gone viral.

According to CBS 13 in Maine, a 17-year-old at Mount Abram Regional High School was on the wrong end of the cheap shot after her team scored to take a 2-1 lead. After celebrating, she was punched in the face by a girl from Lisbon High School. The instigator played the rest of the game with only the yellow card to her name.

“I would’ve thought it would have been a red card and she would have been ejected from the game,” Melonie Ross, the mother of the victim, told CBS13.

According to the Maine Principals’ Association, the referees may not have seen the full offense.

“Officials were getting back to reset the game, may not have seen it clearly enough to issue the straight red card that it normally would warrant,” assistant executive director Mike Bisson told the news channel.

Officials are reportedly investigating the incident.
