A scene before Jamal Musiala’s goal sparks discussions at the Bundesliga hit. Sven Jablonski explains.
Niklas Süle lay in the Dortmund penalty area after a head hit and held his hands in front of his face, FC Bayern continued to play and equalized: The German record champions’ goal by Jamal Musiala (85th) made the final score 1:1 (0:1). in the Bundesliga classic at BVB at least raised questions. Should the referee have blown the whistle?

Yes, thought Nuri Sahin. The Borussia coach initially laughed when asked about it. “Of course I would have liked that,” he said, and then, much more seriously: “I know the rule is that the game is stopped or interrupted if someone is hit in the face.”
But it wasn’t. Leroy Sane caught Süle in the face with his free kick in the wall – the central defender went down and Dortmund complained. Then Michael Olise crossed from the right into the middle, where Musiala headed it in. “The ball is blocked, then I follow the ball as it continues immediately – and a goal is scored. Then I decided on a goal,” said referee Sven Jablonski on Sky in explanation. “I wasn’t sure if there was a head injury.”
Sahin sought a conversation with Jablonski and had the scene explained to him: “That was the end of the matter for me.” So it wasn’t a scandal, more of a commotion, as Nico Schlotterbeck also thought. “I would have liked him to blow the whistle, of course,” said the BVB substitute captain. “But it wasn’t wrong.”
