Red Star Belgrade Coach Dian Stankovic Sent Off and Provokes Home Fans During Match
During a UEFA Champions League match between Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Red Star Belgrade, the Serbian coach Dian Stankovic was shown a red card around the 57th minute. The game, held at the Marakana stadium, saw Be'er Sheva leading 1-0 thanks to a goal by Igor Zlatanovic. Stankovic's dismissal came after he appeared frustrated over a penalty not awarded for a foul on Red Star player Mohammed Abu Fani. Following his ejection, Stankovic gestured provocatively towards the home crowd, clapping and encouraging them to continue booing, which further agitated the fans and intensified their jeers. This unusual incident became a notable moment in the match, overshadowing the ongoing play as the game continued into the 61st minute with Be'er Sheva maintaining their lead.
