A Germany star was sent for pulling the hair of an opponent during the quarterfinals of their country 2025 against France on Saturday evening.
Defender Kathrin Hendrich was shown a straight red card for the attack, for which she also gave away a penalty in the 13th minute of the game in St. Jakob Park in Basel, Switzerland.
After Hendrich, 33, was rejected, the resulting spot kick was converted by Grace Geyoro to lead France.
Germany, however, hit back a little more than ten minutes later when Sjoeke Nusken appeared with a level against the run of play.
The French then had spoken two goals for offside on either side of the half -time interval, while Germany bravely held, even though it was a player.
The winner of the competition will be confronted with world champions Spain, with the lions of Sarina Wiegman who may wait in the final – she was allowed to defeat Italy – after their penalty shootout -hero acts against Sweden on Thursday.
The incident that Hendrich saw sent a similar event from what happened in the Club World Cup final last Sunday -when PSG's Joao Neves was sent to pull the hair of Chelsea Links -back Marc Cucurella.
Referee Alireza Faghani saw that sending away Neves after he was supposed to have committed violent behavior.
Responded to the incident on social media, fans were quickly the actions of Neves.
A user wrote: 'Absolute headloss from Joao Neves. Completely unnecessary red card. '
A second chimed in: 'Joao Neves was shown a right red for his behavior! Shambality on the football field! '
Another user stated: “Joao Neves Red Card, Cucurella should never cut his hair.”
It marked a broken and ugly end to a tournament that is not inadequate in controversy during the new extroverted format.
Players and managers have consistently complained about having to play in rising summer temperatures of more than 30 ° C in the United States.
In the meantime, FIFA has had to deal with the shame of seeing some stadiums half empty during games because of their deployment of dynamic prices.
That policy – together with the decision to play the World Cup of next year in the North -American summer – presents major problems for the Football administrative body to resolve before the World Cup starts in the course of 12 months.
