For the second time in his career, amateur player Argjend Selimi has made the news with an unprecedented foul. Five years ago he went way over the line as a player for SV Spakenburg, and on Thursday evening he scored in the TOTO KNVB cup tournament. This time Selimi escaped a card.
About five years ago, Selimi committed a scandalous offense, which unfortunately occurs more often on amateur fields. The attacker’s interview after the match against IJsselmeervogels on the then FOX Sports caused even more commotion. “How I did it wasn’t really smart, but I would honestly do it again,” he said, among other things. The red card Selimi received ultimately earned him a five-match suspension.
Selimi did not receive red during the cup match between VV Eemdijk and BVV Barendrecht on Thursday. This time Jay Brand from Barendrecht was the victim, Selimi kicked over the ball after losing possession and planted his shoe in the back of the knee of the Barendrecht defender. It is not known whether the moment was judged by Luuk Timmer, referee on duty. In any case, Selimi was not shown a card.
Eemdijk or Selimi have not yet responded to the violation. Coincidentally, there was a recent message on the amateur club’s website that the attacker has extended his contract until mid-2027.
