Video: Rapid Wien’s Schwab gets red card for hideous two-footed horror tackle

This is absolutely brutal and could have been a leg breaker.

Rapid Wien faced AFC Ajax in the Ernst Happel Stadion on Wednesday night in their 3rd qualifying round Champions League tie. The lowlight of the clash was this horror 'tackle' on 18-year-old defender Jaïro Riedewald by Rapid's Stefan Schwab. https://twitter.com/AFC_Ajaxstuff/status/626489436927328256 As you can see, there is no pretence to go for the ball. Instead the Austrian midfielder goes hurling into Riedewald's shins with the most vicious intent. Let's hope he is punished with more than the red card he received.
