"Mansaf" is considered the national dish of Jordan when, according to tradition, family members and often also guests eat it together from the same plate using their hands.
This evening (Monday), this custom led to a very embarrassing incident during the Asian Championship, when Iraq's striker - Ayman Hussein - scored a goal that gave his team the lead against the Jordanians and celebrated the goal while sitting on the grass and appearing to mock his opponents.
Just seconds after scoring a goal, Iraqi striker Aymen Hussein was shown a red card by the referee for his celebration!
😨🟥

A few seconds later, the referee decided to issue a second yellow card and a red card to the shocked Hussein, who had to go down to the dressing room and watch his teammates suffer a reversal on the way to 2:3 for the Jordanians.
The Jordanians, who were apparently very upset by Hussein's celebration, celebrated in the same way and achieved perfect revenge through sports.
Jordan celebrated in the same way, so I'm not sure I understand why the referee sent Aymen Hussein off.
If Iraq end up losing this will become big controversy #AsianCup2023 pic.twitter.com/oRMqXkdVUX
