UEFA Euro 2016 Qualification Matchday 8 Reports Day 2: Strange red in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland 1-1 Hungary                Referee: Cüneyt Çakir (Turkey)
Çakir showed one of the strangest red cards in recent memory, but I think he got it right.
81st Minute: Chris Baird of Northern Ireland makes a hard challenge on a Hungarian player which Çakir signals advantage on. Baird goes on to make another harsh challenge on a different player and this time Çakir stops play. Now here's where it gets interesting. Çakir was already planning on showing Baird a yellow for the first foul and decided that the second challenge was also worthy of a yellow. Therefore Baird essentially received two yellows and therefore a red for the play. This is hardly ever seen, but since they were both clear yellow offenses, Çakir was right to send Baird off.

Poland 8-1 Gibraltar                               Referee: Gediminas Mažeika (Lithuania)
Mažeika is not a name you often see in the European circuit, but he made his presence felt with a penalty decision.
58th Minute: Poland star Robert Lewandowski gets tripped up in the area by Erin Barnett of Gibraltar. Mažeika is right on top of the incident and quickly points to the spot. Good call by the Lithuanian referee.

Romania 0-0 Greece                               Referee: Aleksey Kulbalkov (Belarus)
Scotland 2-3 Germany                            Referee: Bjorn Kuipers (Netherlands)
Ireland 1-0 Georgia                                 Referee: Itsván Vad (Hungary)

Portugal 1-0 Albania                               Referee: Jonas Eriksson (Sweden)
Armenia 0-0 Denmark                            Referee: Svein Oddvar Moen (Norway)
Finland 1-0 Faroe Islands                       Referee: Marcin Borski (Poland)
These officials and their crews all had quiet games with little controversy. Nice work by those six.
