VfL Wolfsburg Loses Valuable Points Due to Late Penalty

Controversial Decision Overshadows Match

VfL Wolfsburg saw a disappointing end to their match against Eintracht Frankfurt, relinquishing two points after a penalty was awarded in injury time. The decision came after substitute Denis Vavro was ruled to have fouled Arthur Theate, prompting frustration from the Wolfsburg coach.

Coach Expresses Frustration

“I’ve reviewed the penalty incident several times. It’s disheartening that the VAR made that call,” the interim coach expressed in his comments post-match. “These situations are always nuanced. Calling a penalty in this instance feels excessive. If that’s the standard, the referee should give penalties consistently after every corner kick.”

Team Performance Praised Despite Result

“There was some contact, but it wasn’t significant enough,” stated Daniel Bauer, who went on to commend his team’s performance during the match. “It was a solid display on the road. We anticipated a challenging environment. They pushed hard at the end, but we handled the pressure well. It was an action-packed Bundesliga match.”

Looking Ahead

Bauer is set to seek his first victory during his second tenure as interim coach when Wolfsburg faces Union Berlin next Saturday.
