Young Boys – CFR Cluj 2-1 | What the Swiss press writes: “It’s crazy! It’s ridiculous!”
Needing a victory in Bern to qualify for the round of 16, CFR were leading 1-0 in the 90th minute when the referee ruled a controversial penalty for the Swiss.
The Blick journalists taught a real lesson in fair play: they wrote that CFR Cluj took the lead on merits at the end of the match and categorized the referee’s decision from the penalty phase “more than controversial”.
“Young Boys continue in the Europa League, after a real drama. CFR Cluj accuses a fraud: ‘Shameful! The referee wanted the Swiss to go ahead’!”, titled the Swiss de Bilck, who quoted the CFR captain, Mario camora.
“What a final match! Young Boys receive a late goal, but return to the match with CFR Cluj in extra time and qualify at 16. The Romanians took the lead, they deserved, in the end, the scoreboard in which Young Boys was eliminated But, in the 90th minute, things took a different turn: goalkeeper Bălgrădean hit newcomer Zesiger on the head.
Referee Bastien decides it is a penalty and shows Bălgrădean a red card. A more than controversial decision, because the Romanian goalkeeper also hits the ball. Nsame converts the penalty and draws. But it doesn’t end there. CFR opens wide and Gaudino makes it 2-1. It’s the end of a dramatic match. “Swiss journalists wrote.
Blick named goalkeeper David von Balmoos the best man of the match, and center Benoit Bastien named “underdog”: “A Frenchman who did everything wrong.”
At the end of the material, the Swiss wonder why there is no VAR in the Europa League: “So much money invested, but there is no VAR! It’s crazy! It’s ridiculous. On the CFR goal it looks like it was offside. Young Boys’ penalty should not have been awarded. And the red card Nsame received is a Joke of bad taste – Disagreeable joke”. .
