BVB lucky! The third goal in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-1 win at SC Freiburg last Friday shouldn’t have counted.
According to DFB project manager Jochen Drees, the video referee should have intervened because BVB attacker Youssoufa Moukoko was offside when goal scorer Marius Wolf shot.
According to this, Moukoko had restricted the Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken in his freedom of movement when there was almost a collision.
“Ultimately, this is a case of a technical misjudgment of the situation,” Drees told the “kicker”. “Our expectation would have been that the VAR team correctly assessed the scene and recommended an on-field review to the referee because of the interpretation sovereignty. He should then have come to the conclusion that the goal should not count because of a punishable offside position. “
