The Enisey goalkeeper wanted to teach the impudent ballboy a lesson, but in the end he received a red card.
After the final whistle in the First League match, the Yenisei players rushed to the boy serving the balls, intending to teach him a lesson for his impudent act. A terrible fate awaited the unfortunate man, but he was still saved from the massacre.
The brawl ended in ejection.
Enisey players’ anger
In the match of the 14th round of the MELBET First League, Khimki hosted Krasnoyarsk Yenisei. The winning and only goal in this game was scored by a footballer from the Moscow Region team, Butta Magomedov, in the 12th minute. After the final whistle, satisfied with the result, but tired, the hosts began to collapse onto the lawn. But some players of the Siberian team still had the strength to organize a race and even try to organize a brawl.
Yenisei goalkeeper Evgeniy Staver, in the company of several other partners, rushed to the boy serving the balls with bad intentions. This episode had a prehistory – in the last seconds, the ballboy treated his duties unprofessionally – instead of giving the ball to the goalkeeper, he pointedly threw it to the side.
You can understand the anger of the Yenisei players, but you still need to control yourself! Verbal complaints began to be accompanied by attempts at physical force. True, the recipient of the aggression was not left alone; Khimki players rushed to his defense. Some active fans of the red-blacks also expressed their intention to help the boy.

Fortunately, a massacre was avoided. But the main culprit of the incident did not go unpunished. They tried to neutralize Staver with common efforts even at the moment of his race. And when the passions subsided a little, the chief referee Igor Nizovtsev showed Evgeniy a red card. The goalkeeper was outraged, but could not do anything about the referee’s decision and was forced to leave the scene.
Along the way, the visiting goalkeeper ignored one of the opponents, who wanted to end things peacefully. The confrontation between the remaining players did not continue; some even shook hands. The referee walked around the field with a red card in his hands, but did not send anyone else off.
