The match between Zenit and Akhmat at Gazprom Arena turned into a real event for the spectators. In the last minutes of the game, Nader Ghandri received a red card.

The 30-year-old defender, shocked by the referee's decision, took off his shirt and threw it to one of the fans in the stands.

As Ghandri was heading to the locker room, VAR intervened and alerted the referee about the mistake. As a result, the decision was overturned, and the player returned to the field.
