The DFB issued a €20,000 fine to Bayern Munich for a two-minute delay in kick-off due to late equipment inspection, highlighting rigidity in enforcement of rules.
Bayern appealed the fine, but the DFB rejected it, underscoring that even seemingly minor infractions can carry strict penalties in professional sports governance.
Despite the delay, Bayern Munich went on to win the match 5-0, showcasing that on-field performance can often overshadow off-field controversies.
The fine appears disproportionate, as €20,000 for a two-minute late start raises questions about the DFB's enforcement priorities and the impact of such penalties.
