Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the decision was issued by the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan (AFFA) Disciplinary Committee.
The player received a red card in the 90+4th minute of the second-round match against Marafon for using unethical language and making an inappropriate gesture. He was subsequently handed a four-match suspension for insulting the referees. Difai was also fined 1,000 manats.
In addition, his teammate Fazail Shirxanzadeh was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the 83rd minute and was suspended for one match. The club was fined 50 manats.
