Cahill's red card came in the 90th-minute after an incident with midfielder Emerson on halfway. 'I have tackled the guy, we sort of tangled legs and as we tangled he lashed out with his arm and hit me in the face,' Cahill explained. 'So I have reacted which wasn't the greatest of reactions from me but it is two different players - he hits me in the face and I don't roll around for five minutes holding my face like he has broken my nose and dislocated my jaw. 'I touch him on the shin and it probably wouldn't knock over my one-year-old daughter, yet he was rolling around five or six times.'
