Braydon Manu's red against Uerdingen wasn't a right call: Halleschen FC manager

Published on: 17 September 2018

The red card given Ghanaian player Braydon Manu has been described by his coach as an awful decision by referee Osmanagic.

Manu was given a straight red card as his club side Halleschen FC lost 2-1 to Uerdingen on Saturday.

Manager Torsten Zienger described the decision as a joke.

"We have seen the scene several times in moving pictures. For me, this is definitely not a red card. It's a foul of Braydon Manu, no question. He breaks free from the opponent and presses his arm against his neck. But that's a yellow card, if anything," the coach said.

But that was not all that the HFC coach had to complain about in the game-changing scene. Ziegner accused Osmanagic of having blindly judged the scene:

"It is particularly annoying that the referee could not see the situation at all. He looked the other way and then let others tell him what would have happened and then made his decision. "

Halleschen FC are now sixth in the Bundesliga III table after the defeat to Uerdingen.
