It was a game that wrote a lot of interesting stories.
The next round in SK Rapid’s battle for the championship group, the missed sensation of bottom team Austria Lustenau and the emotional “homecoming” of Andreas Heraf – but a certain Terence Kongolo also experienced a very special Sunday evening.
With his sending off in the 33rd minute, the Dutchman caused a drastic situation early on in the duel between the championship group aspirants and the bottom of the table (match report >>>).
Kongolo sets a bizarre record
After an unfortunate entry against Ben Bobzien, referee Markus Hameter showed the 30-year-old defender a yellow-red card. A tough decision. Neither the “culprit” Kongolo, nor the other Rapid kickers and coach Robert Klauß could believe it. Read here >>>
By the way, Kongolo, who was only loaned out from FC Fulham in September, also secured an entry in the history of the Austrian Bundesliga.
With his third expulsion in only his seventh Bundesliga game, the four-time Netherlands international set a bizarre record. No player ever needed fewer bets to reach said mark. In total, only 17 players in Bundesliga history managed to get three exclusions in one season.
At the top of that unpleasant leaderboard, Kongolo replaces the 33-time Turkish international Tolunay Kafkas. The former Pasching, LASK and Admira kicker needed eight appearances in 2005 to get three red cards.
In third place is ÖFB legionnaire Richard Windbichler, who was sent off three times in twelve games in the Admira jersey.
