Israel forward Saied Abu Farchi was sent off for using the corner flag to mimic a gun while celebrating his goal in his side’s 3-1 defeat to Austria in the Nations League on Thursday.
Abu Farchi, 20, headed in Israel’s equalizer in the 55th minute at Raiffeisen Arena in Linz after Austria had taken the lead through Romano Schmid’s first-half penalty.
The forward then ran toward the corner, grabbed the flag and made a gun-firing gesture as he celebrated.
The referee had booked Abu Farchi four minutes earlier and showed him a second yellow card for the celebration, leaving Israel with 10 players. (AA)
