This incident happened at the end of the match.. In the 82nd minute, the 32-year-old central defender went into a rough tackle and quite rightly “earned” a removal..

Rakitskiy played so rudely that he could even break his opponent's leg. Note that at first the chief referee showed a yellow card, but after a video replay he changed his mind. Rakitskiy saw a direct red card in front of him. Yaroslav forced his team, which was already losing, to play in the minority.

It is interesting that the Ukrainian with an ironic smile on his face did not understand such a tough decision of the referee and went to the room under the stands..

Your attention to the video with this episode.

The match itself ended with the victory of \;

For the new team, which Rakitsky moved to at the end of July, he played in all three rounds. Already managed to be remembered by two yellow and red cards. Played a total of 262 minutes on the pitch.

Rakitskiy is a graduate of Shakhtar, he played more than 300 matches for the Orange-and-Blacks. In January 2019, after 10 years of playing for the Pitmen's first team, Yaroslav moved to Zenit St.

Petersburg, which is why he stopped being called up to the Ukrainian national team.

After the start of a full-scale invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine, Yaroslav terminated the contract with Zenit, and also called on the Russians to stop the war that their state had begun against Ukraine.

In April 2022, Rakitskiy joined Shakhtar to take part in charity matches. The media reported that the defender could return to the Pitmen, but this transition fell through.
