The scoreline won't reflect that Waitak were the better team until the red card. Auckland look a shadow of their former self, an injury to Tade would spell some sort of disaster.
I'm a bit two-minded on both second yellows that lead to red.
The first Tade had well and truly lost the ball (counter attack over) and it wasn't reckless, so not sure if it was a yellow. The second looked like he was dispossessed then a body check was called on the defender. Seemed odd.
I think for both incidents, 95% of the time a referee in this league would've simply waved play on. Except today they were met with yellows.
Mind you I was a good distance away from the pitch, as is the nature of the lifeless Trusts Arena.
