VfL Wolfsburg flew out of the trophy for opponents Leipzig after a controversial penalty for opponents. Now coach Ralph Hasenhüttl suggests a change of the rule.
After the controversial penalty in the DFB Cup quarter-finals at RB Leipzig, Wolfsburg’s coach Ralph Hasenhüttl has brought a reform of the handball rule into conversation. “Perhaps it would be worth considering to just let it run when handball. Because it is checked anyway. As with offside,” said Hasenhüttl. “I don’t have to decide immediately. I can wait for what the VAR says.”
The Wolfsburgers had been unhappily excreted in the DFB Cup after a 0-1 in Leipzig. The only Leipzig hit resulted from a dubious penalty. A flank from Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko crashed into the arm of Wolfsburg’s Kilian Fischer from a short distance.
Referee Tobias Reichel immediately decided on a penalty, the Var Griff was not. Even players and those responsible for RB Leipzig had been surprised by the decision.
