Ghanaian defender Maxwell Gyamfi sees red in Germany

Osnabruck found the back of the net, one minute to full-time through ichaël Cuisance, who fired home from the spot.

The 24-year-old defender has made 24 appearances for his outfit this season, scoring one goal in the process.

Fellow Ghanaian, Christian Conteh featured for Osnabruck as they secured victory over their opponent.
