Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson HI Sal

I think your question may refer to a kick by an Americas player into the Necaxa opponents back.
To me it looked like it was accidental with the ball kicked and his momentum in the follow through making contact with the players back. The player did his best in my opinion to pull out of the kick. There certainly was no intent or excessive force used so no red card for me.
