AFFA Disciplinary Committee has disqualified Bassalu Sambu, a member of "Neftchi".

Offsideplus.az reports that the team's German footballer is accused of violating the rules in the match against "Kepez" (1:0) in the 1/4 finals of the Azerbaijan Cup.

Thus, Sambu was punished with a red card in the 58th minute of the match for a rough move against an opponent footballer. In addition to the striker being suspended for 2 matches, "Neftchi" was fined 1500 manat.

It should be noted that the coaching staff and representatives of the technical staff of the Baku club considered Sambu's red card to be an unfair decision. Even head coach Samir Abasov, unable to control his temper at the press conference held after the match, used the phrase "VAR should be rejected". The footballer was sent off the field after the episode was reviewed by VAR.

Interestingly, Sambu scored Neftchi's only goal in the 27th minute of the match.
