Banfield had the same Argentinian side at home, but they were not given the warmest welcome by Arsenal Sarandi.
Arsenal Sarandi eventually won the game, but loanee Contreras carried out a terrifying challenge just before half-time when his side were on the back foot.
Sarandi, 21, lost control of the ball and, in a desperate attempt to regain control, carried out perhaps the most dangerous tackle of the year.
Contreras put his feet on Civelli’s shins and jumped openly in a potential leg-breaking tackle.
The Banfield defender was flung to the ground and felt the full force of the forward who stood upright above him before tumbling down and landing in dramatic fashion.
Contreras was then sent off for the challenge, but made an apologetic gesture to Sivelli as he left the pitch.
As Contreras collapses on top of his opponent, he pulls his head back and appears to scream dramatically.
Referee Jorge Barrino was not deceived and immediately drew the red card.
Arsenal Sarandi were down to 10 men in just 35 minutes, but managed to turn the game around and win the first match of the Argentinean Primera División of the season.
