The Funny Way to Dzyuba Save Azmoun from a Red Card

A pleasant event was presented on the stage of the Russian Premier League on Friday (9/13/2019). Artem Dzyuba lifted the body of his colleague, Sardar Azmoun, who disagreed with the referee during the Zenit St. fight. Petersburg vs Arsenal Tula.

The funny incident began with the change of Zenit coach Sergey Semak in the 75th minute. He fired Sardar Azmoun and entered Aleksandr Erokhin. At this point, the player is on the other side of the bench.

Referee Pavel Kukuyan has asked Sardar Azmoun to immediately leave the field on the nearest side, according to the new rules set by IFAB. However, the Iranian players insist on leaving the side adjacent to the bench. No doubt, quarrels occur. Kukuyan was annoyed and then issued a yellow card.

When the 24-year-old will flirt, Artem Dzyuba acts fast. He tried to grab his partner's hand. When the attempt failed, he then ran and warmed his partner's body and sent him out of court in accordance with the referee's instructions.

"The referee said he had to get off the field here, Sardar started arguing, walking and the referee gave him a yellow card," said Artem Dzyuba, explaining the incident quoted by Sport Express.

In addition, the Russian national team striker said: "The referee added that if he crossed another line of the field, he would receive a second yellow card, so I pushed him. (Season) had arrived and I was ready to watch it, I slammed it a little."

The match at Gazprom Arena ended 3-1 for Zenit. Artem Dzyuba scored the first goal in the 5th minute. Meanwhile, Sardar Azmoun failed to hit the ball from the penalty spot when the match came in the 22nd minute.
