We wouldn't see Raschid Arsanukaev on the football pitches for a long time.

A player of the Austrian 9th division playing for FC Viktoria 62 Bregenz, the player of Russian origin received a heavy penalty for having head butted his opponent.

As reported by the Kronen Zeitung, the striker was suspended for the next 48 matches of his team, ie until the fall of 2023. On September 11, during a match against SPG Göfis / Satteins, Raschid Arsanukaev received a second yellow card following a header.

The 28-year-old found the penalty harsh and blurted out these words: "I will show you what is punishable." He then gave a very powerful head butt that broke his opponent's nose and sent him to hospital for several weeks.

FC Viktoria 62 Bregenz fired him and its chairman Christian Gojo condemned the move: “Viktoria defends integration, but of course we cannot tolerate such incidents. We have excluded Arsanukaev from our club.”
