UGO UKAH Issues Apology After Red Card
Published: November 28, 2012
Jagiellonia Bia�ystok defender and Nigeria international Ugo Ukah has commented on his sending off by referee
Marciniak in last weekend's Polish League tie with �l�sk Wroc�aw.
28 - year - old Ukah had been booked as early as the 14th minute. Seven minutes after the restart, he was then dismissed for a second bookable offense.
''Our midfielder lost a dangerous ball, and the opponent found a very good through pass. I was already booked from the first half, so I tried to stop the striker, who was going for glory. My attempt didn't go as I thought and I hit the ball and his leg.
''It looked a bit harsh and when I looked at the referee, I saw the yellow card in his hand and I started walking towards the changing room,'' says Ukah to allnigeriasoccer.com.
Despite the dismissal of the former Queens Park Rangers central defender, Jagiellonia Bia�ystok did not throw in the towel. It was a stunning comeback by Tomasz Hajto's charges, as they leveled the match from three goals down.
'' I was delighted that my team had a great come back and drew a game that was practically lost 3-0 to 3-3. After the match, I apologized to the coach and my teammates. I also want to say sorry to the supporters of Jagiellonia Bia�ystok,'' adds Ukah.
Jagiellonia BiaÅ�ystok, unbeaten in five matches, welcome GKS BeÅ�chatów to the Miejski Stadium on Friday.
