Second mouth cover incident in World Cup

Hincapié was sent off while playing for the Ecuador national team during the match against Mexico in the World Cup. The red card was issued because he covered his mouth during a confrontation with Mexican player Santi Giménez. This action was in violation of a new FIFA rule aimed at preventing players from hiding offensive language. Hincapié became the second player to be sent off under this new law, after Paraguayan player Miguel Almirón. Ecuador lost the match 0-2 and consequently missed the chance to continue in the tournament. He has also been suspended from the next international game.
