No one wants this honour! How a BVB player broke a world record in Essen
The first round of the DFB-Pokal has so far only had a few surprises in store. Will there be a big one today? Borussia Dortmund is challenged by the third division team from Essen. RWE against BVB - wasn't there something?! 🤔 It's already been 17 years since both clubs last met in the DFB-Pokal. Jürgen Klopp made his debut as BVB coach back then and substituted Bajram Sadrijaj for Giovanni Federico in the 71st minute. Not very spectacular. But just 12 seconds later, the BVB talent had to leave the pitch again. Please what?! 🙄! Watch all DFB-Pokal games in the Sky live stream on OneFootball. Every game is available as pay-per-view for €4.99 in our the time, it was the fastest red card in professional football. Sadrijaj had previously completely over-motivated his opponent. "I take 70 percent of the blame for the red card," Klopp said afterwards (quote via ' "Before the substitution, I had asked him to really go for the ball. Although I didn't want Bajram to implement my statement so consistently." The then 21-year-old, who made his professional debut in this game, saw the scene around his red card a bit differently: "I didn't see the scene as dramatic, although it looked pretty bad on TV. I slid frontally towards him, neither stretched nor sideways, and hit him along with the ball. Seeing red right away was a shock - many thought that in other European leagues it would have just been a throw-in." Later, Sadrijaj made his Bundesliga debut - this time without a red card. However, repeated injuries prevented a bigger career. In 2010, his contract was terminated, and according to ' he ended his career in 2017 after stints with lower-class clubs. He also had to give up his record. The Japanese player Tomo Sugawara saw the red card after just nine seconds in a professional game on April 15, 2009.
