Excitement at the start
Automatically saved draft
Over and out: For Spanish referee Gil Manzano, the EURO is already over after the group stage! UEFA sends the scandalous referee home.
As the Spanish newspaper "Relevo" reports, the referee will no longer be officiating a match at the EURO. In Austria's opening match against France (0:1), Manzano incurred the displeasure of the ÖFB team.
Christoph Baumgartner was denied by France goalkeeper Mike Maignan in the 36th minute. Instead of a corner kick, Manzano wrongly decided on a goal kick. Around two minutes later, the French were celebrating after an own goal by Maximilian Wöber.
"Crass mistake"
There was huge anger in the red-white-red camp! ÖFB team boss Ralf Rangnick spoke of a "blatantly wrong decision". Legend Herbert Prohaska was also furious. "It's unbelievable that you can't see that," said the "Krone" columnist.
Manzano, his assistants Diego Barbero Sevilla and Angel Nevado Rodriguez and Alejandro Hernandez, who was appointed as VAR, must now go home. However, the video referee was not allowed to intervene. He can only intervene in the game in the event of a goal, a penalty, a red card or a player substitution (in the event of a yellow or red card).
