Eleven rounds of the Misli Premier League have been completed. A total of 17 referees have officiated in the 64 matches played, with the “Sabah” - “Sumgayit” and “Qarabag” - “Kapaz” fixtures postponed.
Fanat.az's calculations show that Aliyar Aghayev, Kamal Umudlu, Rashad Ahmadov, Ingilab Mammadov, Farid Hajiyev and Akbar Ahmadov officiated in the latest round.
In the final round of the first cycle, FIFA referees Aliyar and Kamal, along with national-level referee Rashad, received their fifth appointments of the season — half of the 10 rounds — creating a five-way tie for the most appointments. Six referees have taken charge of four matches each.
No players were shown a red card in the latest round. The number of players sent off this season stands at six.
Referees issued just 14 yellow cards in the latest round, the lowest tally of the first cycle. The figures for the previous rounds were 24 in round 1, 17 each in rounds 2 and 3, 33 in round 4, 16 in round 5, 27 in round 6, 23 in round 7, 26 in round 8, 28 in round 9 and 26 in round 10. In addition, one player was sent off in round 1, two in round 3, and one each in rounds 6, 8 and 9.
Of the 14 cards shown in round 11, six went to home players and eight to away players. The corresponding figures across the first 11 rounds are: 116 yellows (2 reds) - 135 yellows (4 reds).
The yellow-card tally after 11 rounds has therefore reached 251, bringing the overall number of cards to 257. That equates to an average of 23.4 cards per round and approximately four per match.
FIFA referee Kamal Umudlu has reached for his pocket more often than anyone else over the 11 rounds, despite not showing a card to any player in the latest round. He has issued 24 cards across the 11 rounds, two of them red. Kamranbay Rahimov follows him with 21 cards.
