The goal that turned into an ejectment

Israel's Saied Abu Farchi scored the equaliser against Austria, leaving the score at 1-1 early in the second half, for the Nations League on Thursday.

Farchi ran up to the scaffold, ripped off the flag, knelt with his right leg on the grass and rested the rod over the back of his left hand before firing a shot.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the Colorado Rapids player was simulating a sinuous shot or firing an gun and it was precisely this ambiguity that weighed in.

Second yellow in four minutes.

The referee did not spare forward : he showed the second yellow card only four minutes after the first, resulting in red.

Austria closed the scoring in the final minutes.

Austria had opened the scoring with penalties converted to Romano Schmid .[citation needed] Despite Farchi's draw and the extra player after the ejection, the Austrians decided in the final minutes: Phillipp Mwene and Saša Kalajdžić scored at the end, closing the victory by 3-1.

Where the thing is

For Israel, the lesson of matchday is hard: the goal that tied the game ended in a penalty shootout and the team conceded two goals in the final minutes.

Farchi's situation controver controversially interpreted celebratory gesture should continue to generate debate between the fans about the limits of the party and the discretionary nature of arbitration.
