Karim Adeyemi has corrected his statements on the controversial penalty situation against Eintracht Frankfurt. The youngster now admits his foul should have resulted in a penalty.
It was the excitement of the weekend. When the score was 1-1 between Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund, Jesper Lindström, who was ready to score, was brought down by Adeyemi shortly before the BVB goal. Everyone who followed the game agreed, at the latest when watching the slow motion, that this foul should result in a penalty – but referee Stegemann and his team decided to continue playing.
Only after the final whistle did the referee admit that this was a wrong decision. that it was right not to award a penalty. “It wasn’t a foul for me. I don’t know, it felt like I was body to body with him. That’s why I thought the referee was right,” said the Dortmunder.
However, Adeyemi corrected that view on Monday, admitting via Instagram that he and his team were very lucky at the scene. “Dear fans! To address and clarify the disputed interview! I wasn’t shown the scene after the game and it felt different to me in the game,” he explained, admitting: “After seeing the pictures, I have to honestly admit it that my testimony was false If I had seen the pictures during the interview, I would certainly have agreed with you [Nico] been Schlotterbeck.”
Schlotterbeck had already publicly announced that Adeyemi’s shot was a “clear penalty”.
