Qatar head coach Julen Lopetegui provoked the fury of his star man Akram Afif during the Gulf Cup clash with Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia met Qatar on Saturday at Al-Inma Stadium in Jeddah, in the semi-final of the Gulf tournament.
The Spaniard stunned his Qatari star in the 69th minute, pulling him off with the score locked at 0-0.
Afif stormed off the pitch in a rage, repeatedly demanding: "Why?", before heading down the tunnel.
It marked the third time Lopetegui had hooked Afif at the tournament, following the group-stage games against Bahrain and Yemen. He then missed the third match against the UAE altogether.
The 29-year-old has struggled to hit top form at Gulf 27, managing just a single assist against Bahrain.
