I just read a couple of austrian articles about the game yesterday, and it seems to me that Mattersburg are really bad losers. For example they write on their homepage:

Auch Cem Atan war überrascht, als er schon in der 17. Minute die zweite gelbe Karte des schwedischen Referees Ingvarsson sah – zuerst nach einem harmlosen Foul an Carlitos (8.) und dann nach einer geschickten schauspielerischen Leistung von Nakata, der sich über die Beine des Youngsters fallen ließ

I don't know if you have seen the scenes. I have only seen the second foul, but I think you could give a red card for this only... After the game, the coach of the austrian team complained that Basel had a 12th man, but from what I've seen, it looked like Mattersburg was playing highly aggressive.

Basel's Captain Ivan Ergic, a quite sensible player (he couldn't play for more than a year because of depressions, and he very rarely gets yellow cards) has said that Mattersburg's captain said to him after the game that he will hit him so hard in the regame that it'll be his last match.


I just hope that this is not the usual style this team is using to win their games, because if so, austrian football is in bigger trouble than I thought.
