<p>BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — A player was sent off at the Women's European Championship for pulling an opponent's hair, six days after a similar incident during the Club World Cup final.</p>
<p>The Video Assistant Referee spotted Germany midfielder Kathrin Hendrich yanking the ponytail of France captain Griedge Mbock as a free kick was floated into the area.</p>
<p>With less than 13 minutes played, Hendrich was shown a red card and moments later Grace Geyoro converted the resulting penalty to give France a 1-0 lead in Saturday's quarterfinal.</p>
<p>It was a somewhat unusual red card but the second such incident in the space of less than a week.</p>
<p>Paris Saint-Germain midfielder João Neves was sent off for pulling down Marc Cucurella by his hair, towards the end of Chelsea's 3-0 victory in the trophy match of the Club World Cup last Sunday.</p>
