A Russian soccer match between Virage FC and FC Kurgan turned ugly after a referee issued a red card to one of the players.

Sarhan Mikayilov of Virage FC took exception to the initial call by throwing the ball in the referee's direction. For that he was tossed, and Mikayilov took out his frustrations on the official directly by punching him in the face.

We've seen things get a little crazy with Russian soccer before, but hey -- at least a stun gun wasn't involved this time.
