Cestic’s foul on Brobbey was remarkable. The Ajax striker broke through on the right side of the field in the ninetieth minute of the match when the final score had already been reached. Cestic could not keep up with Brobbey, pulled him by his shirt and pants for a second and ultimately had to pay for it with a yellow card.
Brobbey reacted angrily to the defender’s foul and even had to be stopped by the assistant referee. Cestic was injured during his action and was immediately substituted.
