Esteghlal winger Yasir Asani criticized the referee's behavior during the match after he was sent off against Esteghlal Mokhstan, saying: "I swear I've never been as angry as I was yesterday. "The referee kept teasing me with the words he said to me during the game and said things that really hurt me."
In a message to Football 360, Assani said about the reason for his anger: "Honestly, I don't know what his problem is with me and why he was stuck on me. He said things that really hurt me and that's why I got mad at him."
He said of the published video: "I seem to be making an inappropriate move. But if you watch the video carefully you will see that I speak to him in English. I just said to the referee: You came with the intention of ruining our game. "You are very arrogant and want to ruin our game."
The leading football program also claimed that the reason for his slight anger was the assistant referee's insult to this player. Muhammad Hussain Mishgi said: “The reason for his mild anger was the insult that Mr. Ildrum gave him. The insult cannot be broadcast and I cannot say. Videos of Mr. Ildrum's insults are available."
