In Borussia Dortmund’s 2-0 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt, Dortmund called for a penalty in two scenes. Referee Daniel Schlager explained himself after the final whistle.
Regarding the first scene, when Jamie Gittens entered the penalty area and was hit in the hip and knee in a duel by Nnamdi Collin, Schlager said on ‘DAZN’: “For me it’s a running duel between the attacker and defender. It’s robust behavior of the defender trying to get into a better position. I see the hit, see the contact, but was the contact also the cause of the fall?”
A penalty decision is very serious and from Schlager’s point of view, there are two opinions on this scene: “Some say so, others say that. Even looking at the pictures, I would say that there was certainly contact and I can too “I understand when you say that you want a penalty. On the other hand, it would probably have happened the same way if I had given the penalty. That’s life as a referee.” The VAR confirmed his opinion.

-He was also asked about Serhou Guirassy. He was held by the arm by Arthur Theate in the penalty area. Here, too, Schlager stuck to his opinion that that wasn’t enough for a penalty: “I also see the really short hold and here, too, for me it wasn’t the cause of the player giving Guirassy to the ground. Of course, if you If you look at it in slow motion and slow it down as much as possible, then a hold looks longer. When you see it in the live image, I think there are few people who say: That’s a penalty.”
