FC Liefering once again failed to finish a match with eleven men on the field.

In the IMMOunited-match of the 6th round in the ADMIRAL 2. Liga, they lost 1-3 to SKN St. Pölten on Sunday. After Lassina Traore received a yellow-red card (21'), the Young Bulls had to play with ten men for over 70 minutes.

With their third sending-off this season, Danny Galm's team draws level with SK Sturm II in terms of dismissals. The Graz team has also finished a match with ten men just as often. Statistically, a player is sent off in every second game for both teams.

Traore Sees Yellow-Red Against SKN Within Ten Minutes

Liefering had already played with a numerical disadvantage in rounds two and three, when Myker Palacios was sent off against FC Hertha Wels within nine minutes of his substitution, and Filip Matijasevic was dismissed against First Vienna FC.

Against SKN, Traore was cautioned early (11'), and shortly after the visitors' opening goal by Gabriel Jesus David (18'), the left-back had to leave the field with a yellow-red card following an impetuous challenge (21').

Despite being a man down, the hosts fought their way back into the game in the second half and equalized through Said Nisic. Luis Hartwig then made St. Pölten celebrate with a late brace (82', 90+2').
