Referee Martin Petersen justified his decision to completely retract Emre Can’s foul on Kevin Akpoguma instead of awarding a penalty as follows: “I then looked at it again and saw that pushing wasn’t enough for a free kick . And the foot contact was more of a contact under the sole, which wasn’t enough for me either. That’s how I got to the drop ball.”
The former German FIFA referee Torsten Kinhöfer cannot understand that at all: “There is an iron rule for referees: A foul is a foul – no matter where it takes place. This rule was broken internally yesterday,” he emphasized in his column picture on sunday.
Kinhöfer continued: “To take back this foul just because it was now inside the penalty area is not at all possible. Outside foul, inside no foul? Such a bending of the rules is almost in the area of a rule violation.”
