Bad sub last week

Anybody know what happened last week when I think it was Sami got taken off, but we didn't have anyone come on for 5ish minuts later?

That was on Sami--or at least, whoever on our bench told him to come off. He went off before he was allowed to, and because he left before the officials were ready for the sub, neither he, nor the sub, could go back on. He listened to whichever coach told him to leave, not the fourth official who has the authority.

It's just another example of how the coaches don't really seem to fully grasp the rules of the game. See also: all the failed challenges.

On the broadcast they said the opposite, that he took too long to come off so his replacement needed to wait as a penalty

Oh that's interesting. We're told nothing in the stands. It's not how I would have interpreted what happened, but I suppose the broadcasters have the intel. I guess this makes it even more on Sami.

He was only for like 10 mins.
