In Monday’s match against Esbjerg fB, Silas Trier Madsen received his second caution of the match in the 64th minute, after which he was sent off. After the match, we protested the second yellow card, and we have just been informed that the referee has upheld his assessment from the match. This means that Silas Trier Madsen is unfit for the upcoming match against Aarhus Fremad.
Akademisk Boldklub Gladsaxe believes that the video material shows that Silas Trier Madsen does not take a free kick at the Esbjerg fB player, but instead makes an intervention where he manages to knock the ball away from the Esbjerg fB player without penal contact.
However, the referee has stated that in the match he assessed that Trier Madsen committed a tactical holding offense, which is why the player received his second yellow card and was sent off. Despite the video material, the referee has unfortunately chosen to maintain his assessment from the match that Silas Trier Madsen committed a holding offense and that it should result in a yellow card.
