Gabriel Jesus promises to learn from his mistakes and apologises to Chile star Eugenio Mena after Man City striker saw red for HORROR high boot tackle during Copa America clash

Gabriel Jesus has apologised for a moment of madness in Brazil's Copa America victory over Chile, with the striker shown a straight red card for a karate-style kick on Eugenio Mena.

Brazil were leading 1-0 when the Manchester City forward made the horror tackle in the 48th minute and Argentine referee Particio Loustau immediately brandished a red card.

Mena was going up for a header when Jesus flew in with a high boot, which caught the defender just under his face.
