The moment when the referee shows Mirlind Daku a yellow card

Daku opened the scoring early in the 7th minute, skillfully heading the ball into Spartak’s net. He doubled his tally in the 28th minute with a precise strike from inside the penalty area, celebrating his second goal of the match and putting Rubin Kazan in control.

However, the match took an unexpected turn for Daku in the 75th minute. In a tense moment, Spartak’s goalkeeper, while attempting to reclaim possession, clashed with the Albanian forward, knocking him to the ground. Following Daku’s protest, the referee made a controversial decision, showing both players a red card and sending them off. This ruling sparked frustration among the Rubin Kazan forward and his teammates.

Unable to contain his anger, Daku reacted furiously, directing verbal insults toward the referee. His teammates had to intervene to calm him down and escort him off the pitch. In a final act of frustration, the Albanian international knocked over a camera tripod near the sidelines, adding to the dramatic conclusion of his eventful performance.

Despite his remarkable performance in securing Rubin Kazan’s victory, Daku’s actions in the latter part of the game may have consequences. The club and league officials will likely review the incident, potentially leading to further disciplinary measures against the Albanian striker.
