That cost 20 odd metres and many minutes of momentum and concentration for his team mates, sacrificed to his ill disciplined stupidity. Angry like a 15 year old.
For the referee it asserted his unquestioned authority - without that there is no well paid job for boofheads - and it reminded the captain that he has a responsibility to actively manage - discipline - his players and to accept without question when the referee is clearly in the right.

Refs should use this "we are not soccer" method early in matches and they will have a much more enjoyable match, as will the TV fans.
