Encroachment

Watching final score as goals come in and an Aberdeen player has had a straight red for 'encroachment'.

Anyone care to give me an idea how an outfield player gets a red for encroachment??

I might be having a brain fart moment but I'll ask anyway.
 
A goalkeeper leaving his box with ball can be seen as encroachment but this was an outfield player and it was a straight red lol.

Puzzled me

Edit: livescore has it down as second yellow now.
 
Aberdeen one was just 2 steps from ball and stuck his leg out and block the ball when free kick taken. dafty
 
So that guy from Killie who blocked us taking a throw in by jumping up and blocking like a volleyball player should have been booked?
 
The first few times i saw this it was kind of painted as them being uncultured and not knowing the rules but only in the last few years I learned the truth
I'd heard it was done out of fear of what would happen if they'd scored. Always felt uneasy any time I've seen it since.
