Cristi Balaj, the president of CFR Cluj, reacted to the ongoing discussions about the non-awarding of a red card to Emmanuel Yeboah in the Cluj derby. Lorand Fulop was injured in the 70th minute of the match between "U" Cluj and CFR Cluj, which ended 1-2.
In the 70th minute, Lorand Fulop attempted to recover a ball, Yeboah made a strong tackle on the University's central midfielder, and central referee Radu Petrescu only showed the CFR footballer a yellow card.
Football pundits have slammed the referee for not sending Yeboah off for making the dangerous tackle.
" In the phase with Yeboah, from my point of view, the referee should have been called to analyze the phase on the edge of the field. As we highlighted Yeboah's wrongful dismissal in the match against Chindia, we have to be fair and admit that the VAR should have called the referee at this stage. Yes, yes (it's red),"
