Sead Kolasinac, Arsenal defender, could not even finish the first half on behalf of his Bosnia and Herzegovina against Finland, for the 9th day of the European Qualifiers towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup: he received a criminal kick from Jukka Raitala when he was leaving alone with a counterattack and, in pain, he had no other choice but to withdraw from the field.
They were 35 ‘from the first stage, when the Gunners player received a deep pass and painted to command a counter that could be favorable to equalize the game, which was 1-0 for the Finns. Raitala did not hesitate long and hit him with everything from behind, without weighing the consequences. Kolasinac justifiably rolled on the ground and immediately called for assistance.

In the fast camera, it is not possible to appreciate the moment where Jukka hits poor Sead, but in the repetition, with the slow motion, you can see how the sole hits the ankle of the German-born. English referee Michael Oliver did what he had to do and sent off the Finnish defender.
