Loss in the EC Final.
Now Germany is on a rampage, after the referees missed a penalty in the first half.
It shouldn’t happen in the EC final, says Germany national team captain Martina Voss-Tecklenburg.
It looked like he was heading towards penalty kicks for a long time. But England won the final against Germany in extra time.
Great joy for the home team, but the biggest disappointment in Germany. In the first half, a penalty case arose, when Leah Williamson got the ball in her hand. The VAR was called and the situation checked – but no penalty was awarded.
“it’s incomprehensible”
After the loss, Germany captain Martina Voss-Tecklenburg raged against the referee.
– It’s handball, you have to see that. It is incomprehensible and does not help with the presence of the VAR. Officials need to think carefully. Bild says in the post-match press conference that it shouldn’t happen in the EC Final.
Felicitas Rauch on the missed penalty:
We have a lot of judges looking into it, so when they look at it, I trust them. But I got several letters saying the hand was 80-90 percent. As a player, of course you want it, but that wasn’t why we lost today, she says.
After the match, things were bleak in Germany’s dressing room.
– Of course he was down. But with some distance from this, we can look forward. We did a good tournament, says Marina Heggring.
Swedish judge: ‘Deprived of punishment’
In the SVT broadcast, the former elite referee said Jonas Erickson Germany should have been punished.
– We see that the ball touches Leah Williamson’s hand which is a good distance from the body. Germany is deprived of a clear penalty. It is unimaginable and it is not the first time we have criticized VAR technology. Erickson said it was wrong and it was wrong.
