Olympics Football: Egypt's Mohamed should have been sent off for Ceballos foul – Olmo

The RB Leipzig forward claimed the Egyptian should have been given his marching orders for his challenge

Dani Olmo stated Taher Mohamed should have been sent off for a challenge on Dani Ceballos during Spain’s 0-0 draw against Egypt on Thursday morning.

The Real Madrid midfielder limped off the field after he was caught by a tackle from the Al Ahly star in the first half at the Sapporo Dome.

Taher was receiving the ball on the turn and was oblivious of Ceballos' presence as he closed in. The striker’s foot was planted onto the ankle of his opponent.
