The officials were never going to send the guy off for the assault on Rodri , at that point in the game Zagreb still had a chance of qualifying , they were at home, the TV companies etc, were reporting about the "great" atmosphere in the ground so there was no way that Eufa were going to sanction a sending off of a home player that would kill the game immediately. It was only a dead rubber game from City's point of view Zagreb still had all to play for at that point .
