Controversial Red Card: Kimmich Misses Penalty in Bayern vs Darmstadt Match

2023-10-28 13:47:05

What happened? Kimmich missed the ball in front of his own penalty area when the score was 0-0; the national player lost it to Marvin Mehlem, who intervened energetically. Bayern’s six then knocked the Darmstadt player to the ground half a meter in front of the 16.

Martin Petersen from Stuttgart therefore did not award a penalty. But: Because Kimmich was the last man on his team, the referee viewed the action as an emergency stop and brought out red.

A little later, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel got so excited that he was shown a yellow card.

Remarkable: It was the first red card in Kimmich’s career. Previously, the German international had only received a yellow-red card once, in February in the 4-2 win in Wolfsburg.

Bitter: Even with a minimum penalty for a sending off by the sports court of the German Football Association (DFB), Kimmich expects a one-game ban.

The 28-year-old will therefore be missing from the upcoming league summit meeting with Borussia Dortmund next week (November 4th).

At least a small consolation for Bayern: Because Klaus Gjasula also saw red according to video evidence, there was numerical balance again from the 21st minute.

Like Kimmich, the Darmstadt defensive man had put an emergency brake on himself in the running duel with Konrad Laimer. There was no penalty this time either: Leroy Sané instead put the free kick over the wall.

And in the 41st minute, the guests also had Marvin Mehlem sent off after a foul on Harry Kane.
