VAR Zoff! Bielefeld rages after drama
Last minute madness! Dream goal shocks the leader
Arminia Bielefeld gives an almost certain victory out of hand. This is also because the VAR intervenes in injury time against Nuremberg. This is extremely controversial – which makes the Bielefeld rage.
Arminia Bielefeld missed an important victory in the relegation battle of the 2nd Bundesliga despite a strong performance by his record player Fabian Klos.
In the 2-2 (2-0) win against 1. FC Nürnberg on Friday evening, East Westphalia gave up their second win in the second game under new coach Uwe Koschinat, despite a 2-0 lead.
Due to great VAR excitement about an alleged penalty kick for 1. FCN in injury time, the explosiveness of the game only culminated after the final whistle. Arminen fans threw plastic cups at the celebrating Nuremberg fans around goal scorer Erik Shuranov.
Fabian Kloß showed up Sky annoyed: “In this game you should be very sure of the penalty.”
At first glance, referee Martin Petersen didn’t think so at first glance, as after VAR’s intervention he stared at the screens for several minutes and shrugged his shoulders before making his decision.
This also brought Bielefeld player Bastian Oczipka on the palm.
Many Bielefeld fans saw it that way and raged on Twitter about the decision. In any case, she could not see in this scene that the video evidence only intervenes in the event of a clear wrong decision.
Late Nuremberg equalizer
Masaya Okugawa (6th) and Captain Klos (23rd), who became the sole Bielefeld record player with his 409th appearance, had scored the goals for Arminen, who had defeated leaders Darmstadt 98 the previous week.
But the record game was little consolation for Klos in the end: “It was very emotional, but everything sucks at the end. I just can’t find any positive words right now, it just hurts.”
Nürnberg showed themselves improved in the second half after a system change and came back thanks to Kwadwo Duah (57th) and Erik Shuranov (90th + 8th) – but the penalty goal will heat up the tempers for longer.
