I've never seen players being let onto the field in such a ceremonial way Mikautadze and the Czecch player were after their tackle. Is that normal procedure?

They were off the pitch, the linesman (I think it was) then gestured to them to step onto the pitch. Looked weird. Why were they off the pitch?

I've been active on the Fediverse for 5 years or so via mastodon, but more so in the indieweb movement. It's nice to see more people get acquainted with it. It's a good place.
