Union Berlin manager is sent off for shoving Leroy Sane in the face on two occasions

Tensions escalated in a Bundesliga showdown between Union Berlin and Bayern Munich when Union Berlin boss Nenad Bjelica got involved in a shocking incident with Bayern star Leroy Sane.

Surprisingly, despite his team trailing by a goal, Bjelica held onto the ball and refused to give it to the former Manchester City winger.

Sane tried to slap the ball out of Bjelica's hand and the situation escalated as he shoved Sane in the face on two occasions in quick succession.

A chaotic scene unfolded involving both teams, including debutant Eric Dier. Bjelica, was unsurprisingly shown the red card by referee Frank Willenborg.

However, the Union Berlin coach didn't leave the sideline quietly. He continued to express his frustration on his way to the executive boxes and even appeared ready for a confrontation with Bayern supporters.

Staff members had to intervene, restraining and calming him down as he watched the final minutes from the stands.

With this game, Bayern is now four points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The two teams are set to face off in a crucial clash on February 10th.
