Harry Kane’s blistering start to the season continued by notching Bayern Munich’s first goal in a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, seeing the England captain notch his 12th goal in 7 games. But some people
do not believe the goal should have scored, given that Kane put both of his arms against Serhou Guirassy’s back and nudged him off the balance to score said goal.
Still, center referee Bastian Dankert disagrees. Speaking after the match, the 45-year-old had this to say.
“It wasn’t a push, not a hit on Guirassy’s back. Accordingly, I was very confident in my decision to award this goal. I also passed it on to my video assistant, who confirmed it,” he explained, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “The challenge was standard in the Bundesliga, and that’s why I awarded the goal. If we reverse the situation, we’d also have a penalty. I don’t think anyone in German football wants that.”
Bayern Munich got off to a rousing start during its 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the latest edition of Der Klassiker, but it was a nervy ending for the Bavarians.
The home side appeared to wear down and wilt under pressure from Borussia Dortmund as the game went on, but it was a gutty effort to even preserve the win under what many would consider to be a shaky second half. Head coach Vincent Kompany will have to find a way to deal with the weariness of his boys, but for now, let’s talk about how it all played out.
