🤬 Sent off after conceding: Lieberknecht loses his cool | OneFootball

The atmosphere at Betze is more charged than ever. At the halftime whistle, Kaiserslautern's coach Torsten Lieberknecht was sent off with a yellow-red card and was hardly calmed down even after Florian Exner's decision. What happened?

The Red Devils had just conceded the 0:1 a few moments earlier. Calvin Brackelmann scored from a questionable free-kick call from about 17 meters (45.+7).

However, there was another reason why Lieberknecht was so upset.

Just six minutes into the game, striker Norman Bassette was brought down in the visitors' penalty area by Felix Götze. However, there was no whistle, and the VAR did not see a clear error.

Bitter for the Red Devils, who now have to come back from behind in 45 minutes without their coach.

The FCK ultimately lost the game 1:2.
