Israeli forward Sayed Abu Farhi scored his first goal for the national team on Thursday, equalizing the match against Austria at 1-1. The goal came in the 55th minute against a strong Austrian side that recently competed in the World Cup against Spain and Argentina.
Immediately after scoring, Abu Farhi was shown a red card by international referee Georgi Kabakov. He had already received a yellow card earlier in the match and was sent off for celebrating with a corner flag, a move that violates the rules. This celebration is reportedly a regular occurrence for Abu Farhi.
Despite the controversial decision, the Israeli team's captain, Dor Peretz, attempted to persuade the referee to overturn the red card, but to no avail. The Israeli team expressed frustration, calling the referee's decision "hallucinatory."
