Steven Schumacher felt aggrieved that his side weren’t given a man advantage minutes before half-time at Portman Road
Even though Steven Schumacher would have liked to have gained more from Plymouth Argyle’s close loss to high-flying Ipswich Town, he was left feeling resentful due to a contentious call that quickly altered the course of the game.
What was the performance of Plymouth Argyle versus Ipswich Town?
Argyle entered the game fresh off a victory at Home Park over Sheffield Wednesday, the other newly promoted team. Early in the match, Morgan Whittaker’s brilliant goal in the seventh minute put the team ahead of Vaclav Hladky.
Plymouth Argyle manager Steven Schumacher expressed frustration and disappointment over a controversial decision in their match against Ipswich Town. In the game, Mustapha Bundu, who replaced the injured Ryan Hardie, was brought down by Ipswich defender George Edmundson. Despite Plymouth’s strong appeals for a foul, the referee waved away the complaints and believed that Edmundson had played the ball. However, replays showed that contact was made on Bundu, regardless of whether it was inside or outside the penalty area.
Schumacher felt that the controversial decision was a turning point in the match. Ipswich Town equalized just two minutes later, and Schumacher was left “fuming” by the outcome. He believed that the decision had a significant impact on the game, as Ipswich scored from a corner shortly after the incident. Schumacher was frustrated that the referee did not award a foul in their favor.
While Schumacher acknowledged that it might not have been a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity, he pointed out that Edmundson was later booked, which could have been a red card offense. He felt that the decision had a significant influence on the match’s outcome.
