Armando Sadiku available for FC Goa against Chennaiyin after AIFF Disciplinary Committee overturns red card

Armando Sadiku will be available for FC Goa in its clash against Chennaiyin FC after the AIFF Disciplinary Committee overturned the red card he received in the ISL 2024-25 clash against East Bengal.

Sadiku was shown a direct red card by referee Crystal John in the third minute of second-half stoppage time after the Albanian’s foul on Jordan international Hijazi Maher.

FC Goa went on to win the match 1-0.

The club appealed the decision successfully and Sadiku’s red card was changed to a yellow.

“Following a detailed review of the video evidence submitted by the Club, the committee determined that Armando’s actions did not amount to intentional serious foul play or violent conduct. As a result, the red card has been overturned and replaced with a yellow card,” FC Goa said in its official statement.

The Albanian has nine goals and two assists in 15 appearance for the Gaurs in the ISL this season.
