Jonathan Mensah's drive hit Kewell standing on the goal line to defend a corner on the upper arm, and Italian referee Roberto Rosetti pointed to the penalty spot, pausing only to dismiss Kewell.
Asamoah Gyan converted from the spot, but Australia fought valiantly with 10 men for over an hour to secure a thrilling 1 1 draw.
And after the game, Kewell told reporters the red card decision was harsh.
"Everyone that's seen it is saying 'OK, fair enough, it's a penalty'.
But was it deliberate? Of course, I’ve never been that way inclined," he said.
His dismissal left the team to battle with just 10 men for the second consecutive game.
