😅 Harsh red card and falling behind: Köln endure a tough spell against BVB | OneFootball

1. FC Köln did not want to be intimidated by the size of today's opponent and aimed to try everything at home against Borussia Dortmund to collect one or more points for survival and against relegation. 

Currently, it's halftime and things are not looking good. Initially, the Kwasniok team was controlling the game, but then BVB scored out of nowhere. Serhou Guirassy scored to give Dortmund the lead away from home (16'). 

Shortly before halftime, things got even worse for Cologne. Jahmai Simpson-Pusey was clearly late against Beier and hit him with an open sole on the Achilles tendon. Referee Siebert initially showed a yellow card, but was sent to the VAR and, after reviewing the footage, issued a red card instead of the yellow. So, FC is not only trailing at halftime but also down to ten men. 

In the second half, Maxi Beier also scored to make it 2-0 for BVB away from home (60'). 

What do you think? Was the red card justified? Does Cologne still have a chance to come back? Feel free to write it in the comments!
