🎥 Forward sent off after celebrating, watches his side lose
🎥 Forward sent off after celebrating, watches his side lose Sayed Abu Farchi was a "different" kind of protagonist during Austria vs. Israel this Thursday (24) in the Uefa Nations League. After scoring his goal — which made it 1-1 away from home — the 20-year-old Israeli forward went over to one of the corner flags for a "personal" celebration and ended up being sent off. The damage would be even greater, as Austria scored twice after the 90th minute and won the League B Nations clash 3-1 at the Raiffeisen Arena. Did the referee make the right call? Sayed Abu Farchi had already been shown a yellow card in the 52nd minute. And he equalized for Israel four minutes later — scoring his first goal for the national team. He celebrated with his teammates and then used one of the corner flags to mimic a possible gunshot. An action that did not go unnoticed by Bulgarian referee Georgi Kabakov. Abu Farchi was shown another yellow and left Israel down to ten men. With the numerical advantage, Austria took control of the match in the latter stages of the second half. They went back in front in the 90th minute thanks to Mwene. They then added a third through Kalajdzic (93'). Schmid had scored the first (43'). The result secured the top spot in Nations League B Group 3, as Kosovo beat Ireland 1-0 in the other match in the group. Sayed Abu Farchi became a Colorado Rapids player in MLS this September.
