Dynamo Dresden Captain Stefan Kutschke Suspended Three Matches After Red Card

The DFB set the length based on its 'Tätlichkeit' jurisprudence, citing a prior red card.

Overview

  • The DFB disciplinary committee imposed a three-game ban on October 20, affirming the referee's on-field decision.
  • Kutschke was sent off in stoppage time at Preußen Münster for striking Jannis Heuer on the calf in a match that finished 2–2.
  • The incident was deemed a 'Tätlichkeit', with the ruling noting low intensity and a preceding unsportsmanlike action by the opponent.
  • A previous dismissal on October 23, 2024, prevented application of the usual two-match minimum for lighter cases.
  • Dynamo Dresden accepted the judgment, making it final, and Kutschke will miss league games against Paderborn, Nürnberg, and Hertha BSC.
