📸 Was that really a penalty? BVB star injured, handles ball

Bitter moments for Borussia Dortmund and Niklas Süle in Hoffenheim. With the score at 0-0, the defender slipped in the penalty area. While trying to protect himself as he lay on the ground, a shot from Andrej Kramarić hit him on the hand. Penalty?

The VAR sent referee Daniel Siebert to the pitchside monitor. While Süle had to go off injured, Siebert pointed to the spot. Kramarić then converted the resulting penalty.

We’re wondering: shouldn’t there have been a bit more common sense in that situation?
