america lost that game 4 -- 1 and sergio berti never played again with america .
in 2001 berti returned to argentina and signed for recently promoted team huracán .
the following year , he had a brief stint at barcelona sc of ecuador .
his career came to an abrupt end in 2002 at the scottish premier league side livingston after spitting at team-mate richard brittain , during a pre-season friendly .
