Hartenholm is defeated by Bargteheide after red-charged disciplinary errors
In a thrilling soccer game in the state league, TuS Hartenholm suffered a bitter defeat. The team lost 1:5 against TSV Bargteheide, with two decisive sendings off decisively shaping the game.
The game started promisingly for Hartenholm. Hasan Mercan gave his team a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute. But the game soon took a turn. After an even 1-1 at halftime, Bargteheide's equalizer came through Miles Kinnigkeit after a corner in the 32nd minute, Hartenholm experienced a critical situation in the first half. In injury time of the first half, Benjamin Karadzic received a red card for his behavior (45th + 5th). The defeat was almost inevitable.
Criticism and consequences
In the second half, the situation for Hartenholm got even worse. Hasan Mercan, who had also been a goalscorer until then, was sent off with a yellow-red card in the 53rd minute. The coach of TuS Hartenholm, Jörg Zenker, commented after the game about the unfortunate behavior of his players. He was horrified by the sending off and announced that the team would discuss the issue internally. “We can’t continue like this,” said Zenker.
The strict rules of football that lead to such a dismissal are clearly defined: A red card is considered the harshest disciplinary measure and is imposed, among other things, for serious fouls or unsportsmanlike behavior ([kicker] reports that...). The referees, in this case Mats Stahlberg, make such decisions to protect fairness in the game ([Bundesliga] declares that…).
Game history and statistics
After losing two players, Bargteheide had an easy game. Malte Kentzler increased the score to 2-1 in the 51st minute, before Florian Laue made it 5-1 with two goals (61st and 78th minute) and Jan Schulz (70th minute). A weak moment from Hartenholm's point of view was Maximilian Kokot's missed penalty, which hit the crossbar and thus missed his chance to equalize.
