But on this action, the referee and the VAR did not flinch… For the German media Bild this Saturday, the man in black of this meeting, Sascha Stegemann, admitted his mistake.
«After observation, it’s a penalty. But I hadn’t seen him like that at all on the pitch. (…) The defender had high speed and I was sure that Adeyemi had put his leg inside. The video assistant of course watched the scene and evaluated it. The assessment was: no obvious error, which is why there was no recommendation for me to watch it again myself. Looking back, I must say that I would have preferred to think about it again“, admitted by Stegemann.
«Like shit»
In the final sprint of the German championship, this refereeing fault, 4 games from the end of the season, could have serious consequences. And for his part, Stegemann accused the blow. “My requirement is of course to decide everything correctly directly on the spot, to resolve situations correctly, at the end also with the video assistant. I’m very upset, I feel like shit. It was a very, very short night, I don’t feel good about it“, he confessed. The sports management of the German referees also issued a statement to acknowledge an error. Not sure that’s enough to assuage Dortmund’s bitterness…
