1. FC Köln didn’t want to be intimidated by the stature of today’s opponent and aimed to give everything at home against Borussia Dortmund, hoping to pick up at least one or more points to help secure their place in the league and fight against relegation.
Currently, it’s halftime and things aren’t looking good at all. At first, Kwasniok’s team controlled the game, but then BVB scored out of nowhere. Serhou Guirassy put Dortmund ahead away from home (16’).
Shortly before halftime, things got even worse for Köln. Jahmai Simpson-Pusey was clearly late in his challenge against Beier and caught him with his studs up on the Achilles tendon. Referee Siebert initially showed a yellow card, but was sent to the monitor by VAR and, after reviewing the footage, changed the yellow to a red card. So, at halftime, FC are not only behind but also down to ten men.
What do you think? Was the red card justified? Does Köln still have a chance to come back here? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
