Saied Abu Farchi, a 20-year-old Israeli player, was expelled on September 24 in Linz during a Nations League match after celebrating his goal by using the corner post, a gesture described as either a simulated shot or a billiard-like move. The Bulgarian referee Georgi Kabakov issued him a second yellow card, resulting in his expulsion, leaving Israel with ten players. The match ended with Austria winning 3-1, with two late goals. Abu Farchi will be suspended for the upcoming match against Ireland.
