AFFA complains to UEFA

14 March 2007 16:33 (UTC +04:00)

The AFFA sent a protest letter to the UEFA Disciplinary Committee yesterday, APA-Sport reports.
The letter protests the events which took place in the match between Azerbaijani and Serbian futsal teams on February 23 in thr frame of European championship qualifying.
â€œAzerbaijani team couldnâ€™t win the match and pass to the final because a Serbian player threw a thing to the field. For this action Serbia doesnâ€™t deserve to play in European championship. We expect you to pass a fair decision on the eventâ€?, the letter says.
Photoes of the episode taken from six different angles were included in the letter. The Disciplinary Committee is expected to conider the protest letter next week.
At the last minutes of the match when the score was 5-5, a serbian player sitting in the bench threw a leg shield to Azeri player Vitali Borisov who was face to face with Serbian goalkeeper. Borisov couldnâ€™t score teamâ€™s victory goal as he lost its balance and fell. /APA-Sport/
