Balotelli Expelled From Kazan Match After Second Yellow Card
Former Manchester City striker was sent off in the second half of the Russian Cup match against Dynamo Moscow
The Italian forward was shown a second yellow card for dissent after arguing with the referee
Former Manchester City and AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli was sent off in the second half of Kazan's Russian Cup match against Dynamo Moscow on Wednesday.
The Italian forward was shown a second yellow card for dissent after arguing with the referee over a decision. Balotelli had already been booked in the first half for a foul.
Kazan went on to lose the match 2-1, with Balotelli's dismissal proving to be a turning point in the game. The Russian club is now out of the competition, while Dynamo Moscow will face FC Rostov in the next round.
Balotelli's sending off is the latest in a long line of disciplinary problems for the Italian striker. He has been sent off four times in his career, including twice during his time at Manchester City.
Balotelli's temper has often been a problem for him, and it has led to him being criticized by managers and teammates alike. However, the Italian striker has also shown his quality on the pitch, and he remains one of the most talented forwards in the world.
It remains to be seen whether Balotelli can overcome his disciplinary problems and fulfill his potential. However, his sending off against Dynamo Moscow is a reminder that he still has a long way to go.
