The classic match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich has had its first moment of controversy. After just under 18 minutes, Nico Schlotterbeck, during a sliding tackle, first got the ball and then, with his studs up, caught Josip Stanišić’s left ankle. Was that a red-card worthy foul?
While the defender was receiving treatment, referee Sven Jablonski consulted with the VAR.
After almost two minutes, the Bremen-born referee decided on a yellow card.
Schlotterbeck definitely got away with a slap on the wrist—and then even went on to score the opening goal for the Black and Yellows (26’).
Meanwhile, we’re asking ourselves: Should he have even been allowed to score that goal?
