Held in check against Freiburg the previous day, Union Berlin traveled to Bayern Munich, in a late match counting for the 13th day of the Bundesliga, with the firm ambition of playing a bad trick on the Bavarians. Despite good intentions, the Berliners bowed down after returning from the locker room, with Raphaël Guerreiro scoring the winning goal for Munich (46th).
In addition to this defeat which prevents the club from the German capital from gaining air in the standings, this new disappointment was quickly overshadowed by an incident of play with serious consequences for Nenad Bjelica. Indeed, the Croatian technician was sent off in the 74th minute following a spat with Leroy Sané. On the sidelines, the 52-year-old coach refused to give the ball back to the German international. What followed was a scuffle between the two men during which the Osijek native lost his composure by pushing the 28-year-old winger away with a hand to the face. Nenad Bjelica surely risks a lot in this affair, even if he insisted on apologizing after the meeting. “He (Leroy Sané) pushed me into my zone and then I reacted. But this is not possible, what I did cannot be tolerated. I understand the red card. I was always excited about the penalty action”he said in comments relayed by Sky Germany.
