Aboubakar Koïta was sent off after the final whistle of the match between AEK and Real Madrid.
The player who scored AEK’s first goal of the game had a heated argument with the referee after the final whistle, apparently protesting some of his calls, prompting Mariani to immediately show him a red card.
As a result, the Mauritanian winger will miss AEK’s next match in the Champions League group stage, which will be played in Italy against Como (Nov. 24, 10:00 p.m.).
