Bologna assistant manager Emilio De Leo concedes Jerdy Schouten’s red card “was fair” in a 3-0 home defeat to Genoa. “He was late, but is not a violent player.”

The incident proved decisive in the first half, as Schouten was initially booked, then the referee changed his decision to a red following the on-field review.

“We have to get back on track with humility, analyse what went wrong and learn from this experience,” Sinisa Mihajlovic’s assistant told Sky Sport Italia.

“We lacked a clear head in some moments of the game, as for example the second goal was a serious lapse in concentration. We should’ve done better and been more determined in getting the ball back.

“Schouten was late into that tackle, but he is not a violent player. At first, I thought the yellow card was the right decision, but seeing it again on the monitor, the leg was too stiff as he went in. It’s fair.”
