Gladbach's big outcry: Controversial penalty ensures Bavaria the victory!

Borussia Mönchengladbach had to give up 0-1 against FC Bayern Munich on the last match day. The crucial goal fell due to a controversial penalty, which referee Felix Zwayer imposed in the 68th minute after a Var check. According to the reports, the decision was made due to a slight contact between Gladbach Lukas Ullrich and Munich Michael Olise, which moved the Gladbach players to considerable protests.

Gladbach's sports director Roland Virkus found clear words on the performance of referees and expressed criticism of Zwayer's decisions, especially with regard to the penalty. He spoke of a possible aversion to the referee and criticized several situations during the game. Coach Gerardo Seoane also shared this dissatisfaction and described the penalty as "too slight" for a penalty. The player Tim Small Service criticized the penalty decision and pointed out that similar situations would not whistle in many games.

The decision also caused a shake of the head with captain Julian Weigl, who agreed that the contact was minimal and that the penalty decision was not clear enough. On the other hand, Harry Kane converted the penalty and thus achieved his 26th successful penalty in a row, which underlines his impressive record with Bayern. Kane has already scored 15 goals in 14 missions this season.

Bayern Munich, who was in first place in the table before the match day, was able to end the first half of the season on a strong course with this victory. Max Eberl, also in the Gladbach leadership, described the penalty as "flawless" and "asteine", a view that his players did not shared.
