VfR Neuburg loses 1: 3 in the relegation battle - referee causes trouble!

Ziemetshausen, Deutschland - drama pure in the relegation battle! VfR Neuburg has to give up 1: 3 at TSV Ziemetshausen and thus miss an important step into the middle of the table. Peter Krzyzanowski, the interim coach and chair of VfR, is disappointed: "We didn't bring our top performance," he admits. However, the decisive moments of the game were overshadowed by controversial referee decisions. In the 80th minute, VfR should have received a clear penalty - instead the decisive penalty for Ziemetshausen fell. A bitter turning point!

The game began promising for the Neuburger, who took the lead through a header by Marcel Mehl in the 13th minute. But the joy lasted briefly, because Tarik Music equalized for Ziemetshausen in the 24th minute. The tension rose and the opportunities for both sides increased. But the Neuburger awarded a great opportunity to lead again when Philippe Bauer ran towards the goalkeeper alone and failed. Instead of 2: 0 it was only 1: 1.

referee decisions in focus

The second half became a moment of fate. Music converted the controversial penalty in the 81st minute and placed 2-1. Just two minutes later, he laced his hat trick and made the decision. Krzyzanowski is frustrated: "This could have been a classic draw if the referee had not intervened so often." VfR also had to accept the yellow-red card for Efekan Eroglu in the 88th minute, which was fouled in the disputed scene in front of the penalty. With this defeat, VfR remains in 13th place, three points behind the saving bank. The pressure is increasing and the upcoming games continue to promise a tough fight for relegation.
