If you filmed the heated closing stages of the classic between FCB and Zurich, the title would be clear before shooting started: “A man sees red!” Starring: Taulant Xhaka. First the FCB captain grabs his opponent Marchesano in the face, then he headbutts Katic.
Referee Dudic sends Xhaka to the catacombs for the first attack with yellow-red, to get him out of the stadium belly after consultation with the VAR and take back the yellow card. Then the referee again shows the red card to Xhaka. And for the Basel player, the season should have ended four games before the end, he is threatened with a mega suspension.
His coach Heiko Vogel is also aware of this. He has a certain understanding of emotions, but they have to be “within limits,” says de Pfalz. In addition to Xhaka, defenders Kasim Adams and Wouter Burger have also been sent away after assaults and will be absent in St. Gallen next Sunday. Vogel himself is also suspended after seeing his fourth yellow card. He doesn’t want to comment. “Today I am my own lawyer. If I say something to the referee, I will be suspended for the next 50 years.”
Again the referee decides a game
The main reason for Vogel’s anger is the penalty kick just before the end. FCZ player Krasniqi falls into the penalty area after a mini-touch from Michael Lang, referee Dudic points to the point without hesitation. A wrong decision.
Goalkeeper Marwin Hitz asks the referee why he whistled. Hitz reveals his answer after the game: “He said there was a clear contact. Then he sent me to the line.” Simic converts the penalty, FCZ wins a match that should have ended in 0-0, the teams act that innocently.
In the end it doesn’t matter to FCZ, after the win the specter of relegation has been dispelled for the time being, the lead over FC Sion is six points. And the people of Basel? They are in danger of losing sight of the declared goal of the season, the second place, which entitles them to qualify for the Champions League. The gap to Servette is six points.
