Arminia Bielefeld coach Mitch Kniat was given a red card after the draw against Bochum due to a heated criticism of the referee. Kniat had been upset that referee Tobias Stieler ended the game in a promising attacking situation for Arminia. "I find it crazy that the last action was whistled", Kniat said - and was subsequently sent off. Later, he showed himself to be introspective: "I definitely should not say that, that's my mistake and it hurts me brutally." Arminia Bielefeld missed a crucial step in the relegation battle. At home on the traditional "Alm" ground, the hosts took the lead through a penalty from Joel Grodowski (27), but were unable to hold the advantage. In the 79th minute, Moritz-Broni Kwarteng equalized for Bochum. An additional controversy arose: in the 52nd minute, a possible second penalty for Bielefeld was denied despite VAR review. TV images showed a contact on the foot of Monju Momuluh, but Stieler decided otherwise. Kniat also criticized this clearly: "What we do here in Germany with the video assistant is simply bad." The consequences for the coach are noticeable: at the important away game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Kniat will be missing. "That hits me brutally hard", he said self-critically - and was not only upset about the decision, but also about his own behavior. So, under the summary, there is a point that is too little in the relegation battle - and a coach who is angry with himself.
