Curious interruption in Wolfsburg: Eintracht keeper Kevin Trapp complained that the goal was too high

The Bundesliga match between VfL Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday began with a curiosity. In focus: guest keeper Kevin Trapp and his goal.

The game in the Volkswagen Arena was less than three minutes old when it was interrupted again by referee Daniel Schlager.

The reason was a complaint from Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, who complained about the condition of his goal.

The national goalkeeper had evidently recognized with the practiced eye of the experienced keeper that the bar on the right side, viewed from the pitch, was too high.

The reason: On this side, the post had not been completely sunk into the intended socket in the lawn.

After a brief consultation with the referee, Trapp took action himself and hung himself on the crossbar.

After a few pull-ups, the 32-year-old had properly sunk the post into the ground with his body weight – and ensured that the goal had the rule-compliant height of 2.44 meters at its full width of 7.32 meters.
