You read that right: After a controversial penalty call shortly before the end, Union’s coach lost his cool and showed the so-called “stink finger,” probably in the direction of the referees. The result was clear immediately.
Because a little later he angrily kicked a paper ball onto the field, referee Sven Jablonski sent Baumgart off with a red card from the coaching zone in the 89th minute. At least in the catacombs of the Waldstadion, the red-card offender was still able to watch his boys secure the away win. Who knows – after that not-so-nice hand gesture, he might have to get used to watching his team play on TV for a while.
