Defender and captain of Odessa’s “Chornomorets” Yaroslav Rakitsky became the antihero of yesterday’s match of his team against Sumy’s “Victoria” (0:0) in the 10th round of the First League.

In the 69th minute of this encounter, the 36-year-old player headbutted the opposing team’s defender Denis Ryabiy. The main referee of the match, despite such a foul, only issued a warning, but by that time Rakitsky already had one yellow card, so he saw the red card before him.
