“watch again in peace”
Sabitzer scored in injury time to make it 4-1. “I should take a look at it again”, said Freiburg’s sports director Jochen Saier. There had been intense discussions between the Bayern officials and the team of referees on the sidelines.
It was initially unclear to what extent the incident could have consequences. “I can not judge over this”, Sair said. Referee Dingert said in the sports show: “We noted the incident in the match report. The proceedings will then show what the consequences will be.”
Freiburg must lodge a protest
According to paragraph 17 paragraph 4 of the legal and procedural rules of the German Football Association (DFB), the situation could have consequences for the rating of the game. “If a player was not eligible to play or field a game in a game, the team that culpably fielded that player lost the game 2-0 and the opponent won 2-0, unless that The game had not yet been continued by the referee after the player who was not eligible to play or used the game,” it said.
Freiburg would have to protest, however, so that the breakdown has an aftermath. “I don’t understand how to lodge this objection,” said coach Christian Streich: “I firmly assume that we shouldn’t and don’t have to lodge an objection. I firmly assume that there are rules. Otherwise speculation is wide open open. In my understanding of jurisdiction, there is a set of rules.”
