Bayern Munich<\/a> has lost an appeal against Luis D\u00edaz<\/a>‘s one-game ban for a sending-off in the Bundesliga<\/a>, even though the referee admitted his decision wasn’t the right call.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz was sent off a<\/a>fter a second yellow card for diving in Bayern’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen<\/a> on Saturday, in which he also scored Bayern’s only goal.<\/p>\n

As a yellow card offense, it wasn’t subject to video review. After viewing a replay in a postgame TV interview with Sky Sport Germany, Christian Dingert said he had missed contact between D\u00edaz and goalkeeper Janis Blaswich<\/a> and added: “The second yellow card is very harsh and when I see the images now, I wouldn’t give it that way any more.”<\/p>\n

However, that wasn’t enough for the German football association’s sports court to overturn the automatic one-game ban for a sending-off.<\/p>\n

Court chairman Stephan Oberholz ruled Monday that Dingert’s comments weren’t relevant and that it wasn’t a “completely wrong” call because D\u00edaz had been seeking contact with the opposition goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

“The decisive factor is that the incident constitutes a decision of fact which can only be corrected if it is gravely, clearly and without any doubt objectively incorrect. That is not the case here,” he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz is due to serve the ban against Union Berlin on Saturday.
