Karasev had a very busy match in Italy, showing two reds on one play as well as calling a penalty.
4th Minute: Italian midfielder Antonio Candreva is dribbling at the top of the area when Bulgaria's Veselin Minev lunges in with a to try to win the ball. Minev fails to win the ball and ends up kicking Candreva in the calf. Karasev has a great view and quickly awards the clear penalty to Italy.
55th Minute: Bulgaria's Ilijan Micanski goes in on Daniele Di Rossi with his studs showing at ankle level. Di Rossi responds by kicking out at Micanski's leg. Karasev sends both players off for their infractions and I agree. No place for either of those actions in any match at any level.

It was an inconsistent night from Aranovsky, but the Ukrainian referee did get his one key decision right.
89th Minute: Iceland Captain Aron Gunnarsson is already in the book when he makes a reckless challenge on Aleksey Shchetkin on the left wing, leaving Aranovsky with no choice but to issue him a second yellow. Good work spotting the foul by Aranovsky.
