Eitan Azoulai was suspended today (Wednesday) for 3 games after he punched Bnei Sakhnin player Sahar Taji in the face, and was sent off by referee Shalom Ben Avraham with a straight red card in the match between the teams last Saturday.
Azoulai even went berserk while going down to the dressing room and pressed his head against the fourth referee Aviad Shiloh.
The court's decision reads: "At this time, I do not intend to interfere with the prosecutor's decision to prosecute the defendant for a relatively minor charge of inappropriate behavior. Therefore, I have decided that for hitting the player of the opposing team, the defendant will be sentenced to an actual suspension from three games, including the suspension penalty As mentioned, if the accused had been tried under a heavier charge such as hitting an opposing player, his punishment could and would have been much heavier."
