The dismissal followed an incident in which Higuain reportedly told a female referee, "Don't forget this is a man's game," while refusing to release her from a handshake.
The club confirmed the termination on Tuesday. The incident has drawn attention due to the professional standing of the individuals involved and the nature of the remarks directed at the match official.
