NL really struggling this year.

Thought I’d watch the replay of the red cards.

First one looks like he jumped to charge down the kick and landed on the keeper. Replay doesn’t show the actual contact so hard to comment accurately. Maybe a smidge harsh for a straight red if it was incidental contact, unless it was an uncontrolled lunge - which is probably the interpretation of the referee.

Second one, I’m not sure why everyone looks so puzzled. (Only explanation was that it wasn’t his second yellow). Thought it was a blatant late trip from behind. Easy yellow. Very silly if player on a yellow.


They did well to keep it 0-0 with 9. Disappointing to lose a point in the last minute due to a ricochet pinball roulette goal.
