Sabail's coach Vugar Mammad said this while talking about the expulsion from the match in the return match of the 1/4 finals of the Azerbaijan Cup with Sumgayit, Offsideplus.az reports.

The 42-year-old specialist said that the assistant referee called the referee after the incident and showed him a red card. I also showed that reaction. "

Vugar Mammad stressed that he never wanted to talk about refereeing: "Sometimes it is impossible not to protest and not to talk. There were several episodes in a row. Even in the first match with" Sumgayit ", our goal was not taken into account. In the return match they awarded a penalty. It all came together and it was revealed at that moment. So I pushed the referee. I protested to him because he was the sideline referee next to me. In fact, he was not guilty. I had to protest to the main referee. Because he was close. I pushed a small arm. "

Mammad approached the referee after the match and apologized, but admitted that he would be punished by the AFFA Disciplinary Committee: "After the game, I thought this action was already wrong. In fact, it was not right. I did it because I was a little emotional. But it would be better if I protested in words. It was not right to push. "

It should be noted that the match ended with a 2: 1 victory of Sumgayit. The representative of the "youth city", who lost to his opponent 0: 1 in the first match, reached the semifinals.
