Lukas Grgic suddenly flies off the field in the Bundesliga game between Rapid Vienna and RB Salzburg. Only why, nobody really understands that at first. Several unfortunate circumstances lead to its yellow-red card. In the end, all sides are served.
Lukas Grgic no longer understood the world. The midfielder from the Austrian football record champion Rapid Vienna had just flown off the square – without being guilty. The curious scene in the Bundesliga game between Rapid and RB Salzburg (0: 2) caused a lot of stir in the Alpine Republic.
The already warned GRGIC was replaced in the 69th minute during an injury treatment outside the field, but noticed anything. Just as little as referee Alexander Harkam. When the ball rolled again, the impartial grgic gave the sign that it could come back into play. When the 29 -year -old did that, Harkam interrupted the encounter – he had probably got the ear that he had made a mistake. But it was not the referee that had to be lost, but grgic, which was “forbidden” stormed onto the square: he saw the second yellow card, i.e. yellow-red.
“The Harki is a great guy, but in my opinion he didn’t have the game under control at all,” said Grgic about Harkam, the “Krone” reported “the most curious yellow-red in the Bundesliga history”.
The referee spoke of a “bad perception” and a “chain of unfortunate circumstances that probably never happen again” on the TV broadcaster Sky. He campaigned “in the interests of sport” to give the mandatory lock for a game.
