1. FC Köln is said to be interested in the Bosnian storm talent Matej Deket. The 1.85 meter tall left-footed player is only 16 years old, but already plays for the professional team of the designated Bosnian champions Borac Banja Luka, for whom he has scored five times in 16 appearances this season.
As the Bosnian media “Meridian Sport” reports, FC is said to be advertising for Deket, just like PSV Eindhoven, and has already submitted a request in Banja Luka. Another interested party, Slavia Prague, is said to have already made an official offer. The attacker’s contract expires in January 2027.
DFB admits: Penalty against 1. FC Köln was a mistake
Once again referee trouble at 1. FC Köln. In the 1-2 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, the guests received a controversial hand penalty. Although Eric Martel had his arm on, referee Robert Hartmann pointed to the spot shortly before the end of the first half. Patrik Schick gave the Werkself the lead.
Hartmann admitted after the final whistle that he would “feel better if I had decided to continue playing.” On Sunday, the DFB also confirmed that the penalty was a wrong decision. Alex Feuerherdt, spokesman for the referees, told Kicker: “The player moves his arm behind his body and tries to avoid handball by holding his arm. In such cases, a decision should not be made on criminal handball.”
