Cagliari defender Yerry Mina has already shown he has a rather old-school technique of defending and confirmed his unsportsmanlike behaviour on Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The veteran Colombia international has made quite the impact since his January move to Cagliari from Fiorentina, but not always in a good way.

He had hit the headlines during a tussle with Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee when visibly pinching the Dutchman’s nipple in an off the ball incident – a classic example of the so-called ‘dark arts’ of defending.

Mina did it again , this time to Napoli and Nigeria forward Osimhen, just a couple of minutes into this afternoon’s Serie A match.

Osimhen reacted angrily and tried to explain to the referee and players what had caused his response.
