Israel forward Saied Abu Farchi was sent off during a Nations League match against Austria on Thursday after celebrating a goal by simulating a gun with the corner flag. The incident occurred in the 55th minute after Abu Farchi scored, bringing Israel level at 1-1.
The 20-year-old had been booked four minutes prior to his goal. The referee issued a second yellow card for the celebration, followed by a red card, leaving Israel with 10 players. Austria went on to win the match 3-1.
Israel is scheduled to play the Republic of Ireland next on Sunday evening. These upcoming matches will take place at neutral venues in Hungary and Serbia due to safety concerns.
