During Israel's 3-1 Nations League loss to Austria, midfielder Sayed Abu Farhi received a second yellow card and was sent off for making a gun gesture during his goal celebration. The 20-year-old Colorado Rapids player had scored the equalizer before mimicking shooting a gun with the corner flag. Austria had taken the lead earlier in the match through Romano Schmid.
The incident occurred amid broader controversy surrounding Israel's involvement in international football following the war in Gaza, which began after a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
