Referee Jesus Gil Manzano has just been dismissed by UEFA from EURO 2024 for making a serious mistake in the France 1-0 Austria match.
Mr. Jesus Gil Manzano was kicked out of EURO 2024 for making a culpable mistake when holding the whistle in France's 1-0 win over Austria, his only match in Germany.
One of Gil Manzano's most serious mistakes occurred in the 35th minute, when he gave France a goal kick in the context of Austria having to get a corner kick. Just 3 minutes later, Austria conceded because of Max Wober's own goal.
In addition, Mr. Gil Manzano also could not control the collision situations on the field between the players.
According to statistics, the match had 24 fouls, the most in the group stage. Mr. Gil Manzano issued 7 yellow cards but no red cards, of which 5 were for Austria and 2 for France.
Mbappe was one of two players to receive a yellow card from the referee, causing discontent from coach Deschamps and the French players. The striker is said to have returned to the field of his own accord, after receiving treatment for a nose injury.
In addition to Mr. Gil Manzano, two assistants Diego Barbero Sevilla and Angel Nevado Rodriguez as well as VAR referee Alejandro Hernandez were also sent home early. All four referees are Spanish.
