Overview

  • The DFB Sportgericht announced the decision on Tuesday, confirming a two-game suspension for the midfielder.
  • Sapina will miss Friday’s trip to DaDarmstadt 98 and the home match on 4 October against Karlsruher SC.
  • The panel’s written reasoning emphasized that Enzo Leopold was uninjured and that the foul was deemed unintentional.
  • Dynamo Dresden accepted the verdict, which the court said aligned with the minimum sanction framework.
  • Sent off in the 54th minute against Hannover 96 for a stretched-foot challenge, Sapina later acknowledged the red card and said he watched the remainder from the stadium foyer after being told he could not sit on the bench.
