"That is the worst performance of a refereeing team that I have ever experienced in a Bundesliga match."
"The second yellow card was a factual decision by the referee. Such factual decisions are generally final, therefore, except in cases of serious errors such as mistaken identity, the suspension usually stands."
"Maybe his opinion was influenced by the fact that the majority of the decisions went against FC Bayern. But we are by no means talking about scandalous errors here."
Bayern Munich faced a rare situation playing with nine men after Luis Díaz was sent off for simulation following Nicholas Jackson's earlier red card. The second yellow card proved highly controversial, as contact and Díaz's immediate recovery suggested no dive occurred. Referee Christian Dingert later reconsidered after reviewing footage, acknowledging the card was unjustified. Bayern's honorary president Uli Hoeneß criticized the refereeing performance as the worst he had witnessed in Bundesliga matches. DFB referees' spokesman Alex Feuerherdt defended the decisions, arguing they were factual determinations that typically remain final except for serious errors like mistaken identity, suggesting Díaz's suspension would likely stand despite the referee's own reconsideration.
