Hamburger SV expressed significant frustration following their 1:1 draw against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Friday evening, with player Miro Muheim criticizing the opponent as a "kicking troupe" and the referee, Robin Braun, for failing to issue red cards. HSV coach Merlin Polzin echoed these sentiments, stating that two Mainz players, Silas and Dominik Kohr, should have been sent off for clear second yellow card offenses. Mainz coach Urs Fischer acknowledged that his team could have faced a numerical disadvantage and confirmed he substituted the players in question to avoid such a scenario. The article notes that VAR currently cannot intervene in such contentious decisions, with potential rule changes being considered for the upcoming season.
