THE BALL – Referee explains controversial penalty in Dortmund-Bayern (Germany)

Referee Felix Zwayer justified his controversial decisions at Dortmund-Bayern, at Signal Iduna Park, which the champions won 3-2, with the winning goal scored by Lewandowski, in the 77th minute, with a penalty, awarded by the hand of Hummels.

“I saw that there had been a touch of Hummels. The question was whether or not the arm was away from the body. In real time, it was unclear whether the arm moved towards the ball. I spoke with the VAR. He told me the arm was not in a natural position. He deflected the ball with his elbow and I decided it was a penalty,” Felix Zwayer told Germany’s Sky Sports.

Meanwhile, the association is investigating statements by Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham. “They appointed a referee who was involved in the match-fixing scandal. What did they expect?”, said the Englishman, referring to the six-month suspension of Zwayer, in 2005.
