What airs around 9pm on SRF is not free for youth. “You piece of pig!” Someone yells at the referee. Somewhat more moderate but no less frustrated, another yells: “You destroyed a team. You should be ashamed of yourself! “In Cluj they are really served after the final whistle against the Young Boys. Although, actually that’s from the 90th minute.
Visibly nervous, the Romanians defend after scoring the supposedly redeeming 1-0 in the 84th minute from a suspicious position. You need to win to reach the round of 32 of the Europa League. YB is enough a draw.
So the Romanians defend themselves in the final minutes against the desperate running Bernese. Cross after cross sails into the Cluj penalty area until Cristian Balgradean fists the ball after a corner kick, and YB player Cédric Zesiger lightly hits the head. The referee decides a penalty, the Cluj players are stunned. They besiege Benoît Bastien, who at some point has had enough and obviously overwhelmed, shows Balgradean the red card. Then he gets even more scared, but his protests are useless.
You don’t want to believe it: the Cluj players are upset about the penalty taken.

“Expelled because we are Romanians”
Only Jean-Pierre Nsame remains calm in this situation, converting the penalty due after a minute of rest. In the 93rd minute, YB moved on. Although he only remains calm in this situation, shortly afterwards he too is sent off the field because he is impetuously moving around his opponent in the middle of the field. But the Romanians are unaware that after YB’s second hit, Damian Djokovic complained so much and so violently to Bastien that the French also sent him off. Then whistle: the stage is clear for the rest of the Cluj team.
Damian Djokovic complains a lot and receives red.

Almost everyone has something to say to the 37-year-old referee, and very little should have been decent. Cluj-Captain Camora told the Romanian media: “This referee is a disgrace. I am lost for words. I’ve never experienced anything like this. “And Balgradean twice:” He probably fired us because we are Romanians. We are too small. They probably wanted the Swiss to get ahead. I don’t know. “
