Ghana midfielder Bernard Kumordzi has lashed out at his ââ¬Ëabsurdââ¬â¢ sending off in Club Bruggeââ¬â¢s 2-0 win over Genk in the Belgian top flight match played on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old was handed his marching orders after receiving a second booking in the 65th minute in the heated game played at the Jan Breydelstadion.
Kumordziââ¬â¢s exit swung the momentum of the game in the favour of their hosts as Brugge were only a goal up at that time.
Michel Preudââ¬â¢hommeââ¬â¢s side had to hold on until an 88th minute strike from De Sutter made the points safe for the Blue-Black.
Kumordzi has however called for a review and punishment on referee Efong Nzolo for his ââ¬Ëabsurdââ¬â¢ decision to send him off in Wednesdayââ¬â¢s clash.
"This was definitely a turning point,â⬠a fuming Kumordzi said after the game.
"You cannot with common sense understand why the ref booked me in that first offense.
ââ¬ÅThey [authorities] would have to punish Nzolo [referee].
ââ¬ÅFootball is a contact sport and that second yellow card (the second), okay, but that first one was really absurd."
Kumordzi will now faces an automatic one-match ban for his sending off until the decision is reversed through a yet to be lodged appeal by his club.
