Israel’s forward Saied Abu Farchi is sent off during a Nations League match against Austria after a goal celebration involving the corner flag. In Israel’s 3-1 defeat, he receives a second yellow card for the gesture, and Israel plays the remainder of the game with 10 men.
Austria takes the lead before half-time through a penalty scored by Romano Schmid. Abu Farchi equalises for Israel in the 55th minute by heading home, but Austria scores again to secure the win. Multiple outlets describe the celebration as a corner-flag “gun” mimic, though they vary in emphasis—some focus on the second booking and timing of the dismissal, while others stress the controversy of the gesture and the match impact.
