HSV loses significantly in Cologne and is arguing with the referee. Disallowed goal, two yellow-red cards and minute-long VAR checks – the HSV fans feel that referee Daniel Schlager has not treated them fairly. Our podcast team discusses in the Bundesliga Update whether the anger is justified.

It was a short day at work on Sunday for Immanuel Pherai. Substitution, yellow card, yellow-red card – all within two minutes. The second yellow card in particular gets people heated. Because Pherai clearly slips away and that’s why he hits his opponent. For this reason, the podcast hosts, Anne Hilt and Jens Walbrodt, are also critical of this yellow-red card and find it a bit too harsh.

Viera’s dismissal was also controversial

Hamburg’s Fabio Vieira gets the second yellow-red card because he complains to the referee, Daniel Schlager. After the game, the referee said that Viera wanted to point out to him that Cologne might be playing time and he had been too energetic. In this case, the Bundesliga Update team is of the opinion that this sending off is clear negligence on the part of the HSV player and therefore no reason for complaints.

Gladbacher Liberation strike on St. Pauli

Anne Hilt and Jens Walbrodt also discuss how Gladbach’s liberation against St. Pauli came about. Was the weak performance of the St.Paulians decisive or was it the strong performance of the Gladbachers? The Bundesliga update team was convinced by Eugen Polanski’s idea.
