Kastrov started as a right wingback in the eighth round home game of the German Bundesliga in the 2025-2026 season against Munich at Borussia Park in Glatbach, Germany, on the 26th (Korea time) and committed a "big accident" in 19 minutes.
In the 16th minute, Munich winger Luis Díaz was handed a long pass in front of the opponent's left sideline. As soon as he tried to dribble toward the end line, Castrov attempted to tackle one step late. Kastroff's studs touched Díaz's ankle. The referee initially put out a yellow card and then corrected it to a direct exit after a video review.
Castrov, who received a total of 12 warnings for rough play for his team Nuremberg before the 2024-2025 season, was sent off in the Bundesliga for the first time in seven games since joining Glatbach this season. It is the first time in a year and 11 months that Castrov received a red card in an official match since the match against Paderborn (3-1 win) in November 2023 when he was in Nuremberg.
The German football magazine 'Kicker" reported that Glatbach switched to five-back after losing 1-3 to Union Berlin in the previous match. He also attempted a bold attack early in the game, but things changed after Castrov's tackle. 'Referee Sasha Stegemann ordered Kastrov to leave' he explained the situation at the time.
With Kastrov's departure, the Korean Derby between Korean players ended in 19 minutes. Munich center back Kim Min-jae, who is mainly a substitute this season, is Dayot Upamecano's partner and started in four league games following the fourth round against Hopemheim (4-1 win) and played full-time for 90 minutes. It is the first time in six months that Kim Min-jae has played full-time in the league since the match against Augsburg (3-1 win) in April.
Glatbach endured Munich's wave of attacks with Harry Kane, Nicholas Jackson and Díaz in the face of numerical inferiority. 42 min Kane, 45 min Tom Bischoff's shot went nowhere. The first half ended in a 0-0 tie.
However, it was not Munich that would collapse like this. Coach Bang Sang Kongpani, who signed a long-term contract with Munich ahead of the match, made a major change at half-time, excluding Upamecano, full-back Sasha Boy and Bischoff, and introducing midfielders Konrad Reimer, full-back Rafael Guerreiro and Josip Stanisic, respectively. In the 14th minute of the second half, Jackson was excluded and winger Serge Navri was put in, raising Kane to the front line.
In the 19th minute, Jozua Kimmich calmly pushed the ball out of the box, signaling a huge score. In the 24th minute, Guerreiro scored an extra goal, and in the 35th minute '17-year-old Shin Seong'Lennard Karl sealed a 3-0 victory with a picturesque left-footed shot. Munich has won eight consecutive league games and 13 official matches, including the Cup. In the 1992-1993 season, he tied AC Milan for the most consecutive wins in the opening of the five major European leagues. In the league, the league maintained a point gap with second-place Leipzig (19 points) with 24 points, with five points.
On the other hand, Glatbach failed to escape from the league's second consecutive winless streak and eight consecutive games in the 30th minute due to the bad luck of Kevin Stueger's penalty hitting the post. He is ranked 18th (three points), the lowest. Kastrov's exit was an fuel to Glatbach's all-time crisis. It has a rating of 3.6.
Teammate Philippe Xander said after the game "If we get a red card against a tremendously strong team, the game is bound to be harder."
Kim Min-jae proved his qualification as a starter with 90 minutes of clean play. With his bold advance and cutting ability, he cut the buds even before Glatbach launched the attack, and he contributed to the team's attack with a sharp pass. In the first half, a roving pass to the gate instilled tension in the opponent's gate, but Jackson wasted a shot opportunity.
Kim Min-jae recorded 99 ball touches, 96% (90 successful passes), 9 recovery, 2 clearings, 1 interception, and 1 successful aerial ball competition, receiving 7.5 points in the team after Kim Mi-hi (8.5 points), Leon Goretzka (8.4 points), and Guerreiro (8.1 points). It is also notable that he boasted the third fastest instantaneous speed (33.11km/h) among the players of both teams. He was the fastest in the team. Kim Min-jae, who suffered from an Achilles tendon problem in the second half of last season, is gradually returning to the form of a 'monster'.
