Four-match ban Schalke player's terror tackle
Schalke’s Johannes Geis made such a horrible challenge that even a four-match ban doesn’t seem harsh enough.
The visitors were trailing Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-1, when Geis lost his head and almost broke Andre Hahn’s leg with his high and mistimed tackle.
Geis received a straight red. Some have questioned if just sitting out four matches is too a light a punishment for the 22-year-old.
Fortunately, what could have been a season-ending, if not career-finishing injury was not to be.
Hahn wasn’t seriously injured and the home side went on to win the Bundelisga match 3-1.
