Midfielder Veli Kavlak reflects on his rarely-seen fair play act

“When I touched the ball, my opponent slightly touched me. It was an obvious foul but required no red card because he pulled his foot back immediately. After seeing the red card in referee’s hand, I went to him and discussed the position. The referee thanked me and changed his decision. We were down 1-0 at that moment and ended up losing the match by that score. Regardless of the result, I did what I had to.”
