Wrong decision ends the Swiss European Championship 2020
However, referee Michael Oliver is almost too eager to get to the red square. And VAR doesn’t turn on either – Freuler has to take a shower 78 minutes early.
This means that the Swiss hope to struggle playfully to make a decision are gone. What follows is 45 minutes of strong Spanish play – obviously Switzerland was the better team before they were sent off.
No wonder the dubious decision of the English referee is causing heated debate. “Once again the red card for absolutely nothing,” even soccer icon Gary Lineker complains.
Michael Oliver is dragged across cocoa on social media. Some even suspect color blindness, others sympathize with the “stolen” Swiss.
