( CNN ) -- David Beckham was sent off just six minutes after coming onto the pitch as three further dismissals and a mass brawl overshadowed Paris Saint-Germain 's 1-0 win over Evian . The former England captain , who joined PSG in January on a five-month deal , was introduced as an 83rd-minute substitute for PSG before being given his marching orders for a lunging challenge on Youssef Adnane . PSG , who are close to securing a first French Ligue 1 title in 19 years following the win , saw Italian midfielder Marco Verratti pick up a second yellow card two minutes before Beckham was brought on . Tempers flared on and off the pitch , with PSG assistant coach Claude Makelele sent to the stands for remonstrating with officials . PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu and Evian 's Saber Khelifa were given red cards following a mass brawl which broke out on the final whistle . The sending off could be Beckham 's last act in a PSG shirt , with the 37-year-old 's contract set to expire at the end of the current season . `` The referee lacked lucidity , '' PSG sporting director Leonardo told French newspaper Le Parisien . `` He made mistakes . The red card shown to Beckham , for example , was really unfair . `` It was always a very tense match . Nobody wanted to lose -- especially not Evian , who are struggling to stay up , '' added Leonardo , referring to Evian 's place in the Ligue 1 table , with the club level of points with third from bottom Sochaux . `` I also believe that our team is really tired at the end of the season . '' The visitors ' winning goal came in the 50th minute from Argentine Javier Pastore and allows PSG to wrap up the title on Sunday if they record a better result against Valenciennes than second-placed Marseille manage in Saturday 's match with Bastia . Sunday 's red card was n't the first Beckham has received in France . The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star was infamously dismissed for kicking out at Argentina 's Diego Simeone while playing for England at the 1998 World Cup . Beckham was vilified by fans following the red card , with many blaming the midfielder for England 's exit from the tournament . Glenn Hoddle 's team lost the second round match in Saint Etienne on penalties following a 2-2 draw .
