Chechen club skipper Rizyan Utsyev was given his marching orders late in the game by Mikhail Vilkov which caused the stadium PA to lose his temper with the microphone switched on!
Terek honorary president Ramzan Kadyrov then apologised for calling the official a "sell-out" after the sending off in the Russian Premier League tie, but refused to back down on his bias accusations.
"I want to apologise to the entire football world for my remarks but not to the referee," Kadyrov posted on the internet, according to Reuters.
"It was a terrible game because the referee was biased. He did everything possible to change the outcome of the match - didn't award a [clear] penalty and gave Utsyev a second yellow."
The Russian FA has scheduled a hearing to decide what sanctions will face Terek in light of the incident, but many experts are predicting that politics will get in the way of the Kremlin-backed club president receiving any sanctions from the disciplinary committee.
However, former player Valery Reingold told Russian outlet Sport-Express: "It's a total disgrace to our game. If people at his [Kadyrov's] level make such outrageous comments, then what we should expect from ordinary fans?"
Terek sit eighth in the league early in the season on the back of the draw against Rubin Kazan.

Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has finally faced the press and, judging by his comments, is a tad upset with perhaps something other than the final scoreline.
"First and foremost, congratulations to Bayern Munich because they won so it's not important to speak about what happened in the game," he told ITV1. "After the game you have to respect the result and that's what we do now.
"I didn't see (Robben's) goal. It was a free-kick and we were not in the right formation at that moment. It was late in the game and it has been a really hard season for us. But Bayern Munich had to fight too. We deserved to be in the final and we showed this tonight."

Sir Alex Ferguson also has a new job... Well, kind of. The former Manchester United boss was entrusted with the honour of presenting the man of the match award after the game and relished the task: "It's my first job since I retired and it's a pleasure!"
Robben humbly received his accolade before commenting: "I think it’s such a shame a world-class trainer is leaving the game." Quite.

Heynckes, class act that he is, was also quick to empathise with a devastated Dortmund.
"I told their players: I know your disappointment after losing a final. I lost a final to Liverpool, too.
"During the first half we had trouble to get into the game. At half-time a adjusted our play. I think both teams felt pressure. If you see that you have a 25-point-lead in the league, it is normal you are the favourite. But after 30 minutes we freed ourselves.
"Over the past year, we improved and improved. We improved and modified so many details. I was stricter and I have to say that the players followed me and there is harmony in the dressing room."

And finally we get to hear from Bayern Munich boss Jupp Heynckes, who will be replaced by Pep Guardiola this summer.
The big news is, though, that he seems to have a job lined up for himself, which restores one's faith in our fickle game, given the man is now a two-time Champions League winner!
"The decision on what I will do after the DFB Pokal match (against Stuttgart next saturday) was already taken last June? Retire? No, you will learn that after the DFB Pokal final."
