Union Berlin coach Nenad Bjelica made headlines after being sent off for an astonishing incident where he pushed Bayern Munich forward Leroy Sane in the face. The Croatian coach, frustrated with his team trailing 1-0, grabbed the ball near the touchline, leading to a confrontation with Sane. In a surprising turn of events, Bjelica lost control of the ball and responded by thrusting his hand into Sane’s face, causing chaos on the sideline.
The coach was rightfully dismissed, and Sane received a yellow card for his involvement. Fans and viewers expressed shock and disbelief on social media, with some calling for a lengthy ban for Bjelica. The incident occurred moments after Union Berlin’s appeal for a penalty went unanswered.
Despite the dramatic touchline clash, Bayern Munich held on to secure a 1-0 victory, narrowing the gap on Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen to four points. Bjelica now faces the prospect of a significant ban due to his violent actions during the match. The incident adds to the recent surprises in German football, including Harry Kane’s shock home loss with his team to Werder Bremen over the weekend.
