In one of the most bizarre scenes in the World of soccer, referee Salem Mahmoud had to call off the Jordan Cup final between Shabab and Faisali as the latter were reduced to only six men on the pitch as two players saw the red and three others were injured!

The action started early as Mahmoud whistled a penalty at the 11th minute and sent off Mohamed Khamis for a harsh tackle on Ahmed Al-Omayer inside the box.

11 minutes later international winger Khaled Saad, who played his last game with the team before joining Zamalek, saw the red after collecting two yellow cards in a few seconds as he was involved in a fight with an opponent plus a dispute with the assistant referee.

The game was suspended for a while as the players threatened to quit the game. And after 10 minutes the game resumed and Ahmed Al-Omayer was able to double the score just before the break.

Manager Adnan Hammad sets his scenario as he made all his three substitutions at the beginning of the second half and soon the players fell down pretending injury until the referee had to call off the game after just five minutes.

Shabab are now officially the Cup winners as the game was ended on a 2-0 lead.
