FC Bayern caught up in a 0-1 deficit in Stuttgart and won the game. But a goal was a bit controversial.

In the 3-1 win of Bayern in Stuttgart, VfB showed an appealing performance for a long time. From the beginning, the team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß put pressure, played out opportunities and took the lead after a little more than half an hour. National player Angelo Stiller put a shot from the edge of the penalty area perfectly in the angle that MHP-Arena trembled in Stuttgart.

But the Bavarians found an answer around ten minutes later. The high -standing Stuttgart defense used Leroy Sané for a precise steep pass on Michael Olise, who could overcome goalkeeper Alexander Nübel and shoot the ball into the goal.

But a short time later the video referee reported. Because Olise was suspicious close to the offside line. World champion Mats Hummels, who followed the game on the television, also commented on the X platform: “But I want to see the offside line again.”

The video assistant checked in Cologne for minutes. The decision remained, however, that an offside position could not be demonstrated without any doubt. Mats Hummels saw it differently: “I’ve seen the lines now and something went wrong, that still looks like me.” The central defender of AS Rome made it clear that he had “no shares” in the game apart from his “kickbase boys”. Kickbase is a platform in which football fans can put together a team of players who get points based on their achievements on the Bundesliga weekend.

Bavarian compensation was in any case a turning point in the game. Because in the second half the VfB was noticeably nervous, two serious mistakes made the guests from Munich. So the game ended with a 3-1 win of Bayern.
