DFB Poised to Rule on Dominik Kohr After Record-Setting Red Card

Calls for an example-setting punishment have intensified, with Olaf Thon urging up to a 12‑week ban.

Overview

  • Kohr received a straight red for a late challenge on Hoffenheim’s Max Moerstedt in a 1-1 draw, his ninth career sending off and a Bundesliga record.
  • Kicker reports the DFB is weighing a suspension of up to four matches, with the Sports Court expected to issue its decision on Monday.
  • World Cup winner Olaf Thon told Kicker a much longer sanction is warranted, proposing a ban of up to 12 weeks to deter repeat offenses.
  • Kohr apologized on Instagram to Moerstedt and Mainz fans, while teammate Danny da Costa defended his character and Nadiem Amiri called the foul a clear red card.
  • Reports note a maximum suspension would be a major setback for Mainz and could effectively end Kohr’s 2025 calendar‑year involvement.
