Eintracht’s defense chief Martin Hinteregger (29) was really lucky in this scene…
The Austrian had already received a yellow card when he grabbed opponent Philipp Lienhart in the face in a duel in the Frankfurt penalty area in the 73rd minute of the game against Freiburg.
Was that a slap in the face?
Referee Felix Brych only noticed the situation when Lienhart was already lying in Eintracht’s sixteen with a pained face. The Cologne video cellar did not respond either, so Hinteregger was able to end the game on the pitch.

However, the defender could subsequently face a ban from the DFB sports court. According to BILD information, the control committee will take a close look at this scene again on Monday. Then it will be decided whether to investigate Hinti.
