It's a stroke of blood that could cost Aaron Opoku dearly.
A gesture that could be worth several suspension matches increasing the sentence of his red card received during the meeting between Hamburg and Darmstadt on Friday evening.
While his team was trailing 0-2 on the occasion of the 5th day of Bundesliga 2 (German second division, Editor's note), the striker completely lost control of his nerves by delivering a violent kick in the stomach of Fabian Holland, opposing defender.

The referee immediately showed the red card for this inexcusable act but which is easily explained because the Darmstadt player's anti-play at the start of the action is indisputable.
Opoku had just passed the ball to a teammate and had rushed to attack the opposing half of the field when Holland, guilty of a first obstruction and fell to the ground, grabbed his shorts to stop his run.
A gesture that made Aaron Opoku come out of his hinges who confused the belly of the German defender with the ball.
The latter only received a yellow card for his unsportsmanlike behavior which occurred just after the hour mark during a tense meeting since there were three expulsions and eight yellow cards.
