🤬 Sent off after conceding: Lieberknecht loses his cool

🤬 Sent off after conceding: Lieberknecht loses his cool

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 conceded a 0:1 just moments before. Calvin Brackelmann scored from a questionable free-kick call from about 17 meters (45.+7).

However, there was another reason why Lieberknecht lost his temper.

Just six minutes into the game, striker Norman Bassette was brought down in the visitors' penalty area by Felix Götze. However, the whistle was silent, and the VAR did not see a clear error.


Bitter for the Red Devils, who now have to make up a deficit in 45 minutes without their coach.
