Although Moans Dabour did not score today (Saturday) in Hoffenheim’s 1: 2 over Wolfsburg, he still managed to get involved in one of the game’s spoken moves. In the 94th minute, the Israeli striker ran to the breakaway after the Wolves’ horn, and was already alone in front of an empty net, but Paolo Otvio slipped behind with two legs, tripped him and received a red card. “We have not seen anything like this for a long time,” Sky Germany wrote of the move. “Fortunately, Moanes Dabour was not injured.” Bild journalist Toby Altshaf also referred to the move: “The amazing moment today in the Bundesliga!”.
“A cruel offense,” Didi Haman commentator Sky commented, “you have to ask yourself what went through Otavio’s head. The damage he caused is greater than preventing the goal. He will be sent off for four to six games.”
“The Brazilian flew to Dabour from behind and gave a strange scorpion kick with two legs. Assassin in Bundesliga with offense of the year,” the offense was described in the German media, “a terrible and dangerous tackle, which was useless. He risked a long suspension.”
We have not seen such a flight in the legs for a long time … 🔴
