Union Draws at Augsburg as DFB Confirms Köhn Suspension After Red Card

Union questions a missed holding call preceding the dismissal as VAR offered no intervention.

Overview

  • Marin Ljubičić netted a 90+2 equaliser for Union Berlin to secure a 1:1 draw away to Augsburg despite playing with ten men.
  • The result extends Union's unbeaten run to four matches in the Bundesliga.
  • Derrick Köhn was sent off late for a high foot that caught Samuel Essende, a decision coach Steffen Baumgart accepted on safety grounds.
  • Baumgart argued Danilho Doekhi was held in the box just before the red-card incident and said such infractions were flagged for stricter enforcement this season.
  • The DFB disciplinary body confirmed Köhn's suspension, meaning he will miss the trip to Stuttgart, with VAR having declined to intervene on the key incidents.
