Israel Striker Sent Off After Mimicking Gunshot with Corner Flag at the Nations League

Israel forward Saied Abu Farchi turned a hard-earned equaliser into a costly mistake on Thursday night in Linz. After heading home in the 55th minute to cancel out Romano Schmid’s first-half penalty and level the UEFA Nations League Group B3 match against Austria at 1-1, the 20-year-old Colorado Rapids striker raced to the corner flag, pulled it from the ground, dropped to one knee and mimicked a firing motion with the pole.
