An unfortunate incident occurred during the AFFA U-15 League match between Neftchi and Zira on May 3.

According to Offsideplus.az, Zira’s head coach Natiq Kerimi entered the pitch to protest the referee’s decision. As a result, the match referee showed him a red card and sent him off from the technical area. The AFFA Disciplinary Committee has handed Kerimi a two-match suspension for his actions.

Following the match, Zira supporters confronted the referees and directed insulting language toward them. Due to this behavior, AFFA has issued an official warning to the club.
