📸 Too late and studs showing: Nebel sent off against Freiburg

The game could hardly have gone worse for Mainz 05 against Freiburg so far. After the 05ers were already trailing 0-2 after 28 minutes, the next shock followed.

Paul Nebel was clearly late against Freiburg's Lienhart. The 23-year-old caught the defender's ankle with an open sole and was immediately sent off by referee Daniel Schlager. As it stands, Mainz is actually slipping to 18th place in the standings after the 12th matchday.

Will just a call to Munich help now? Bayern defeated SCF 6-2 last week after trailing 0-2 and could certainly offer some tips.
