Referee Sasha recognizes an error at the expense of Dortmund!

Referee Sasha Stegemann admitted an error he made during Bochum's match against Borussia Dortmund last Friday, in the 30th round of the Bundesliga. The refereeing body has admitted that a penalty was not whistled in favor of Dortmund during the match against Bochum. The sports management of the German referees recognized on Saturday an error on an unwhistled foul on Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi, which should have led to a penalty for Borussia against Bochum (1-1) Friday evening in the German championship. At the head of the Bundesliga with a point ahead of Bayern Munich before this 30th day, Borussia Dortmund could not do better than a draw on the lawn of Bochum. With this result, Borussia is under threat from Munich (59 points against 61), who receive the red lantern, Hertha Berlin, on Sunday. In the 65th minute of the match, Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi was tackled in the penalty area by Bochum defender Danilo Soares, warned in the first period (30th). The referee of the meeting Sascha Stegemann did not whistle the fault and did not use video ***istance (VAR). “The defender throws him from behind and to the side with both legs in the fight for the ball. He does not play the ball and instead hits the opposing player, knocking him down. It’s a foul and a penalty“, Estimated the sports management of the German referees in a press release on Saturday. He believes that in this kind of situation, the referee must make the right decision on the field, “without the need for video ***istance“. “Today the referee decided the outcome of the match. With five games to go, when it comes to the title of German champion, do not look at this situation, I believe that it is negligent, cowardly and completely false“, pestered the sporting director of Dortmund, Sebastian Kehl, Friday after the meeting. “For me, there was not only a penalty, but also a second yellow card and a red for the Bochum player. I find it quite unfair that everything is not done so that there is no bad decision-making. It hurts“, regretted coach Edin Terzic. Referee Sasha justified not counting the penalty kick by saying that he thought the young striker had exaggerated the fall on the field, which prompted him to decide to continue playing. At the same time, he referred to the review of the video assistant referee, before the latter informed him that there was no violation, adding.
