Serbia manager Veljko Paunovic has criticised the decision to send off Rangers midfielder Vanja Dragojevic, describing the red card as "horrible."
Dragojevic started for his country against Germany but was shown a straight red card in the 76th minute when, with his team 3-1 down, he left a late challenge on Joshua Kimmich.
The situation worsened for Serbia as Andrija Zivkovic was also dismissed late on, with Paunovic arguing that both decisions were wrong.
Manager defends player
Paunovic said his players are hurting and feel aggrieved by both decisions, while praising Dragojevic's performance up until his sending-off.
"In the second half, we were better. We started excellently with Vanja," Paunovic said.
"We scored and we were close to making it 3-2. We had the same amount of good chances as Germany.
"The dressing room is very disappointed with the decisions made on the pitch (by the referee).
"That part hurts a lot, it was horrible. It is painful that we are getting red cards because of this."
Rangers impact
Dragojevic was tipped for big things at Rangers after his summer arrival from Partizan Belgrade but has made just eight appearances so far.
He remains a key player for his country but will now miss their trip to Greece on Monday due to suspension.
