As Robin Zentner put it, it was a “100% wrong decision”: In the catch-up game between Augsburg and Mainz (2-1), Dr. Matthias Jöllenbeck early on the penalty spot. However, This regretted that after goalkeeper Zentner made contact with FCA striker Florian Niederlechner. The Mainz keeper was angry at “Sky” about “a swallow” from Augsburg and questioned the video referee.
The young man who recently extended his contract was far from alone in this. Despite his “poor first contact”, those responsible for the zero-five agreed with him. Sports director Martin Schmidt is concerned, “why the basement in Cologne isn’t helping and him (Jöllenbeck, Note D. Rot.) makes such a huge mistake.
Even if the referee sees the scene as a foul in the live view, the basement must recognize that it was nothing.
“Even if the referee sees the scene as a foul in the live performance, the basement has to realize that it was nothing,” adds Schmidt and thus shares the view of Jöllenbeck himself to a certain extent. Goal scorer Silvan Widmer gave on the website of the Mainzer also claims to have seen on the field “that the striker was almost on the ground before there was even any contact.”
Lack of focus in defense – Svensson’s easy question
The “decision against us obviously hurts,” said the Swiss, but added, like the previous speakers, that the situation alone was not decisive. In addition to missing many chances, Zentner addressed the sleepiness at the decisive 1: 2. “That was also the difference, in the final concentration,” said Schmidt, whose Mainzer had only brought home two points from the last nine away games.
But one person still had clear words to say to video referee Tobias Stieler: trainer Bo Svensson. At “Sky” he not only spoke of a “blatant mistake”, but asked outraged: “What are they doing in Cologne?”
