Bayern's Olise sent off in Champions League clash at Viking
Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, of France, was sent off on Tuesday evening during his side's away match against Norway's Viking in the second round of the Champions League league phase. CNN Arabic reported that the dismissal followed an incident in which he threw the ball toward an opposing player's face.
Background
Bayern Munich is a German club and Viking a Norwegian one. They met in the Champions League, the continent's premier club competition, organised by UEFA. In its current format, the tournament opens with a league phase that precedes the knockout rounds.
How outlets covered it
The two outlets agree on the basic facts: Olise was sent off in Bayern Munich's Champions League match away to Viking on Tuesday evening. RT Arabic called the act "disgraceful" in its headline and attached a video. Its text identifies Olise as a winger and gives the matchday, but the available text does not address the reason for the dismissal. CNN Arabic called the incident a "controversial moment" and put the ball being thrown in an opponent's face in its headline, without giving the matchday in the available text. The two outlets also spell the player's name slightly differently in Arabic.
