In detail, the Senegalese player, Ibrahima Wadji, who plays for the Azeri side of Karabagh, canceled a goal protested by the Marseille players, after the referee ruled it out.
This strange request came on the pretext that he scored the goal with his own hands, and not in a legal way.
The referee awarded the goal due to the absence of the mouse technique, according to AFP.
The Azeri team lost the first leg against the French club Marseille, with a goal against three goals, and was behind at the beginning of the first leg in Baku with a goal by Senegalese Bab Ghi, who scored in the 12th minute of the match.
The incident happened in the 34th minute when Ibrahima Wadji scored a clear goal with his hand, which Marseille players protested a lot.
In a charged atmosphere between the players of the two teams, Wadjee headed towards his coach, Gurban Gurbanov, before they exchanged a conversation with the Polish referee, Bartosz Frankowski, and persuaded him to cancel the goal after the Senegalese player admitted that he touched the ball with his hand before scoring.
The match resumed after being interrupted for about 10 minutes due to this incident.
The Continental Confederation said on the platform of the direct commentary of this match, “The coach of Qara Bagh asked the player Wadji whether he scored the goal with his hand, and he replied positively, so the home team asked the referee to cancel the goal. ‘It is a rare and sporting behavior,'” according to AFP.
