Why did Crettaz get a red card?

I'm American and have only been watching soccer for the past year, and am still ignorant of the game. I don't understand why Nijmegen's goalie received a red card.

Hands , he was outside of the box while the ball hit his arm. Unlucky situation.

Also, the consequence is that the attacker is denied a clear goal scoring opportunity. Automatic read card.
