📸 BVB star rides his luck: not even a yellow for this horror tackle

📸 BVB star rides his luck: not even a yellow for this horror tackle On Saturday afternoon, Borussia Dortmund beat SV Elversberg 2-1 to remain second in the table, level on points with Bayern Munich, who won in Mainz at the same time. The in-form newly promoted side had no answer to Felix Nmecha’s brace apart from a late goal by Futkeu. However, things could have turned out very differently. Many fans were calling for the home side to have a player sent off just 20 minutes into the game.  Svensson slid in for the ball but caught Elversberg’s Pinckert hard on the ankle. While there was surely no intent on the BVB star’s part, many observers felt the foul was at least borderline worthy of a red card. Pinckert needed treatment but was able to continue. Surprisingly, referee Harm Osmers did not even show a yellow card, and VAR did not intervene either. What do you think of the foul? Should Svensson have been sent off, leaving BVB to play with ten men for over 70 minutes? Let us know in the comments! This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
