"Baumgart ( maybe rightfully) thought the decision was a joke. "The first goal was a goal. To call offside by those 5 millimeters - and we're literally talking about five millimeters - someone's completely out of their mind," Baumgart told Sky Germany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). The ruling played a major role in the match and kept Union Berlin from cashing in on three points instead of just one after a fiery and intense effort."
"Bayern Munich hit the road in the ultimate "trap game" situation after big wins over Bayer Leverkusen (Bundesliga) and Paris Saint-Germain (Champions League) just before an international break. For any team, that could have spelled danger - and this Bayern Munich squad was not immune. Bayern Munich and Union Berlin fought to a 2-2 in a match that reeked of danger for the Bavarians from the opening whistle."
An offside ruling wiped out Ilyas Ansah's early goal after measurement of roughly five millimeters, prompting strong criticism and being called a joke. The disallowed goal materially affected the result, preventing Union Berlin from turning a fiery, intense performance into a victory and leaving the match drawn 2-2. Bayern Munich entered the fixture vulnerable after big wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain, creating a classic 'trap game' scenario. The match featured dangerous moments and shifting momentum as both teams exchanged goals and substitutions influenced the flow of the contest.
