Bayern München obtained a controversial victory (2-3) on their visit to Borussia Dortmund’s fiefdom in a key game for the Bundesliga leadership, which is in the possession of the Bavarians with a four-point margin thanks to the victory. At the end, the Norwegian and his teammates criticized the work of Felix Zwayer.
The stake between black and yellow Rekordmeister it was a blessing to the neutral viewer. Comings and goings, counterattacks from both teams, permanent tension and vibrations between two very powerful offenses, with practically no play in midfield. The goals of both teams, however, came largely due to defensive imbalances of both.
Felix Zwayer drew a penalty from Mats Hummels for touching the ball with his arm that resulted in the final goal after Robert Lewandowski converted the penalty. Local footballers angrily complained about the decision, given that they had not previously reported an impact of the ball in the hand of Alphonso Davies or a takedown by Lucas Hernández on Marco Reus. It is true that on the second play, it seems that Erling Haaland participates starting from an illegal position, but the referee signaled a goal kick.
Erling Haaland exploded after signaling the end of the stake, harshly criticizing the referee’s performance:
“I think it was a scandal in terms of refereeing. It was a clear penalty on Reus. I said to the referee ‘Why haven’t you gone to watch?’ and he said ‘no need’ like an arrogant … I have to calm down a little “.
He was not the only one on his team who ended up upset with the referee’s decisions. Borussia Dortmund coach Marco Rose commented on the following after his expulsion: “We all saw what happened. Marco Reus’s action is a clear penalty. Mats Hummels’ hand is at least debatable, it’s a shame. Mr. Zwayer is welcome to lead a few more Borussia Dortmund games. He can put in a few. more obstacles in our way. ”
Quite forceful were also the statements of midfielders Emre Can, who affirmed that Zwayer “has given the game to Bayern”, and Jude Bellingham, who recalled the scandal of more than a decade and a half ago: “It wasn’t a penalty for me, you know? Hummels isn’t looking at the ball and he’s fighting for it. The ball hits him and I don’t think he was looking at it. You can see a lot of other decisions in the match. You give a referee who had , you know, previously arranged matches, the biggest game in Germany. What are you waiting for? “
To understand the words of the English international, the 40-year-old Berlin referee was suspended for six months in 2006 for being part of a plot in which matches of 2.Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and 3.Liga were arranged, which at that time was regional. The main defendant was Robert Hoyzer, who after being called to testify would confess who his accomplices were, including Felix Zwayer.
