Stijn Stijnen sent off during Patro Eisden loss to Lierse

Patro Eisden coach Stijn Stijnen was sent off following a 2-1 defeat against Lierse in the Challenger Pro League. The dismissal occurred after Stijnen received a second yellow card following a confrontation with the fourth official.

The incident began during a Football Video Support review that lasted approximately four minutes. Stijnen expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating process and subsequently confronted the fourth official, De Keyzer, in an intimidating manner. The referee, Van De Velde, issued a red card, forcing Stijnen to leave the technical area for the stands.

Due to Stijnen's history of disciplinary issues, including eleven yellow cards and two red cards last season, the football association's disciplinary committee is expected to investigate the incident, which may result in a significant penalty.
