You read that right: After a controversial penalty call shortly before the end, Union's coach lost his temper and probably showed the colloquial middle finger in the direction of the referees. The outcome was quickly clear.
Because he also angrily kicked a paper ball onto the field shortly afterward, referee Sven Jablonski sent Steffen Baumgart off with a red card from the coaching zone in the 89th minute. In the catacombs of the Waldstadion, the red-carded coach could at least watch as his team secured the away victory. Who knows – maybe after that not-so-nice hand gesture, he'll have to get used to watching his team play on TV for a while.
