UEFA made everyone “offside” when confirming the reason for Marcus Rashford’s red card.
It can be said that Marcus Rashford’s red card against Copenhagen was the turning point that caused Manchester United to lose. Before that time, the Red Devils led the Danish representative by 2 goals thanks to Rasmus Hojlund’s double.
In the end, the home team defeated Man Utd 4-3 in drаmаtic fashion. When Man Utd lost the match, Rashford’s red card was the most discussed issue. A series of experts such as Paul Scholes and Jamie Carragher all gave their opinions on how the referee punished the English star.
Many opinions believe that number 10 on the away team did not deserve a red card because he did not intentionally step on a player from the other team. However, everyone seems confused about the situation that led to Rashford’s red card.
UEFA noted the reason why Rashford received a red card.
Specifically, on its homepage, UEFA confirmed that Rashford was disqualified for using his hand to Һit Elias Jerert in the face . That was the moment when the player born in 1997 stepped on Jelert’s foot for a split second.
Quite surprised by UEFA’s announcement. This means that any criticism of the referee’s decision to send Rashford off because he kicked his opponent’s foot becomes cоnfusiоn.
