Scandalous illegal goal conceded in the Bundesliga

Last update 18 October, 2013 by Julio Muñoz

Bayer Leverkusen has provisionally placed itself at the top of the German soccer Bundesliga after defeating Hoffenheim away by 1-2 in the match that opened the ninth day and that has served to increase to more than 103 the number of matches in Germany without a draw 0. Of course, the news was not the result but a goal by Stefan Kiessling with a header, which was validated despite the ball having entered outside the goal.

Kiessling took advantage of a corner kick to score the 0-2 and give Bayern a boost, which is surprisingly first in the table, although with one more game. However, What is striking is that despite the clarity of the images, Referee Brych did not notice and the goal went up on the scoreboard, generating quite a bit of controversy in the post-match. (Surprisingly, no one protested on the field.) and offering a pathetic image of the king of sport.

And this is not the first time this has happened.. Be England, Spain, Italy or Germany (where a match was already repeated due to a similar event), What is clear is that in the 21st century we cannot admit such glaring errors that would have an easy solution with the application of technology.. Other sports have done it, be tennis, be it american football. Even, football for what you want and are interested in.

Certain plays, however, they seem not to want to correct themselves. Alright, FIFA and UEFA are within their rights, also the national federations. But, the ridiculousness is total, the patent injustice and the horrible image. Themselves. If they want that…
