Referee Wolfgang Stark has said sorry to Bundesliga champions’ Borussia Dortmund after they lost 3-2 to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 on Saturday. The Black Yellows were 1-0 up and fully in control of the game when the match official decided to

“I've looked at it again later and unfortunately it was an error of perception on my part. I'm sorry, that should not happen. The penalty and the red card were a mistake on my part," he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Die Wolfe attacking midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 duly scored from the spot-kick. The away team were boosted by Schmelzer’s red card and won the thrilling game 3-2, which disappointed BVB team trainer Jurgen Klopp. He suggested that they were
handicapped by the poor decisions of Stark.

into account, including the penalty. But the red card decided the game today," he finally concluded.
Klopp conceded that the Borussians were in cruise control and the decision changed the fate of the clash. He announced that the red card was really harsh and now they are 14 points behind Bayern Munich.
