"Yeah, the Luis Díaz ... is never a second yellow card, it's never a yellow card. We can debate if it's a penalty or not, but that's the only debate we can have because there is contact. And as well if you see the face afterwards, he stands up straight away, he cannot be more honest in this face, he falls down because there's contact, he stands up straight away and he gets a yellow, second yellow, and now he's suspended for the next game."
"Referee Christian Dingert admitted after the game that it wasn't the right call to send off Díaz after viewing a replay, in comments to broadcaster Sky Sport."
Bayern Munich secured a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga while playing with nine players for much of the match. Bayer Leverkusen scored first through Aleix García in the sixth minute. Bayern equalized through Luis Díaz, who was subsequently sent off in the 84th minute for a second yellow card for diving. Referee Christian Dingert later admitted the dismissal was incorrect. Bayern also lost Nicolas Jackson to a straight red card in the 42nd minute for a poor tackle. Harry Kane returned from injury but started on the bench. Bayern's goalkeeper Sven Ulreich played due to injuries affecting Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig.
