Football player attacked referee Yagi and broke his jaw during a match in Australia
A Greenacre Eagles football player attacked referee Hodra Yagi and broke his jaw during an amateur league match in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia against the Padstow Hornets. It is reported by The Sydney Morning Herald.
According to the source, the suspended Greenacre player insulted the referees, climbed over the fence and hit Yagi several times. The referee was diagnosed with a broken jaw in three places and three knocked out teeth.
The football player was charged with alleged assault, and Greenacre decided to withdraw from the competition. The NSW sports minister called the attack on Yagi abhorrent. The state football federation condemned the incident and announced support for the investigation.
On March 8, the Syrian Football Association suspended former national team captain Ahmad Al Saleh for life for assaulting a referee. He received a red card during a Syrian championship match against Al-Watba. After that, the athlete attacked the referee who removed him with insults, spat at him and kicked him.
