VIDEO: Rapid Vienna player sent off for horrific two-footed tackle vs. Ajax
Reuters
Rapid Vienna and Ajax played to a 2-2 draw in the opening leg of their Champions League qualifying match on Wednesday, as the Austrian side erased a 2-0 deficit in the second half after Davy Klaassen found the net twice in the opening half for the visitors.
But none of that matters.
The only thing you need to know about this match is that it was the scene of a great crime. Rapid Vienna midfielder Stefan Schwab was responsible for one of the most hideous tackles you'll ever see, receiving a red card for this abomination of a challenge on Jairo Riedewald.
Riedewald somehow - and thankfully - escaped significant injury.
