According to the game, the 2-2 draw in Magdeburg was actually a point gained for HSV, but it was a setback when looking at the promotion battle. The mood after the final whistle was correspondingly mixed. However, everyone on the Hamburg side agreed on the referee’s assessment. People shook their heads vigorously and numerously.
Referee Dr. had one red card and two penalties. Robert Kampka whistled against HSV in the first half, bringing Hamburg to the brink of defeat. All decisions were heatedly discussed on the pitch and after the game. And with a clear trend.
Baumgart blames the referee for the HSV setback
“I have never played a game like this with Dr. “I had a fight where I was so angry,” said Steffen Baumgart, who made no secret of his disappointment. This time, most of the game-deciding scenes on the pitch were incomprehensible to him. The HSV coach: “The referee played a large part in the fact that we didn’t achieve our goal.”
The trouble started in the 23rd minute. Magdeburg’s Luca Schuler fell to the ground in a running duel with Guilherme Ramos on the way to the goal. The referee immediately gave the HSV defender a red card and a penalty for Magdeburg. The excitement was great.
Schonlau and Meffert also complain about the referee
“I’m relatively sure that the contact is outside, and if it starts outside, then it’s outside,” complained Baumgart, who also emphasized that he didn’t understand the double punishment. Captain Sebastian Schonlau was anything but happy with the assessment of the scene. His comment: “For me it’s not a 911. The boy weighs 90 kilos and appears to be 2.50 meters tall. To be honest, I find it difficult to think that the little push is enough.” Jonas Meffert explained: “The striker just tries to let himself fall down somehow.
I don’t understand how you as a referee can interpret it like that.”
Referee sees no need to speak
The referee’s anger continued in stoppage time in the first half. This time Magdeburg’s Leon Bell Bell was in Hamburg’s penalty area. HSV goalkeeper Matheo Raab and Ludovit Reis stopped him. And again there were penalties for the FCM. “Three come together and there are penalties for Magdeburg. “I don’t know whether the referee decided that the number was outnumbered, I didn’t see any foul,” said Baumgart. HSV keeper Raab explained the scene like this: “Ludo and the Magdeburger crossed a bit and then I couldn’t estimate exactly whether they would get to it or not. I then touched the ball to the corner with my shin. I also told the referee that. His statement was that the Magdeburger was torn down and there was no need to talk.”
