Afriyie Acquah sees red as Torino draw with Kwadwo Asamoah's Juventus in derby

Midfielder Afriyie Acquah was sent off in Torino's 1-1 draw at Juventus in the Derby della Mole on Saturday night.

The Ghana international picked up a second booking in the 57th minute for a sliding tackle.

Television replay later revealed Acquah had the ball and did not go in for Mario Mandzukic.

Compatriot Kwadwo Asamoah played the entire duration for Juventus who needed Gonzalo Higuain's late leveller to avoid defeat.

Meanwhile, Torino General Manager Antonio Comi says referee Paolo Valeri was wrong in sending off Afriyie Acquah in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Juventus in the Derby della Mole.

"The manager thinks this was a great match, where both teams played a great game, Torino took the lead, then the Acquah episode. In my opinion the referee may be wrong, but I'm sorry that someone considers this a foul and that should have been a warning,'' Comi told Sky Sport after the match.
