The "Zira" - "Neftchi" match, held within the framework of the 28th round of the Misli Premier League, was remembered for its dramatic and tense moments. The equalizing goal scored by the home team in the final minutes caused serious dissatisfaction among the parties.
Idman.Biz reports that in the 90+4th minute of the game, added to the main time, Zira's football player Brahim Konate equalized the score (1:1). After this goal, protests arose on the bench of Neftchi's reserve players.
In response to head coach Yuri Vernidub's request to the fourth referee to review the VAR, head referee Inqilab Mammadov showed him a yellow card. The Ukrainian specialist, even more annoyed by this and throwing his sports hat on the ground, was sent off the field with a straight red card. The tension did not end there. Although Neftchi's players refused to start the game, demanding a VAR review, the referee continued the game.
After the final whistle, the players and technical staff of the "white-blacks" headed towards the refereeing team. Police were immediately called to the scene to ensure safety. Although Vernidub's assistant tried to show the controversial episode to the referee on the tablet, he was also punished with a red card.
