Unruffled Hürzeler Sidelines in Derby Clash

A Penalty Controversy and Emotional Outburst

In a thrilling Rostock victory (3-2), St. Pauli coach Fabian Hürzeler (30) grappled with heated exchanges on the bench due to an arguable penalty call. Amidst the chaos, Hürzeler was subjected to a mob ban, preventing him from partaking in the highly anticipated derby against HSV.

The Absence of Hürzeler in the Derby

Background: With three yellow cards under his belt, Hürzeler would have faced a suspension during the city duel, had he obtained one more card in Rostock. The drama unfolded at Ostsee-Stadion when referee Robin Braun (Wuppertal) awarded a questionable second penalty for Karol Mets' "mini-tug" on Juan Perea.

Hürzeler: "I was justified in my disgust towards his whistling and the scene he perceived. Absolute nonsense. It's a routine physical contact that can never warrant a foul. It was a mere opinion."
