Gjurovski picked up an earlier yellow card in the 21st minute and then got another booking in the 35th minute for his actions after scoring the second goal for Muangthong United. Mario scored with a nice chip over the keeper but then decided to remove his shorts and put them on the top of his head, ala Mirko Vučinić who has done that celebration for both Montenegro and Juventus. The management of Muangthong United did not find Gjurovski’s actions funny and forced Mario to apologize after the game.
