The team director accepted the referee’s excuse, but stressed that they have lost the points and nothing can turn the events of the match that resulted in a defeat for the reigning champions
Borussia Dortmund sporting director http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 is no atonement for the outcome. He said that
the Bundesliga outfit has already dealt with the blow and can do nothing about it.
The left-back was given his marching orders on an alleged handball. However, the ball only struck his knee while he was clearing in his penalty area. The referee penalised the player and awarded a penalty-kick, also dismissing
him as a result when the Black Yellows were winning 1-0.
Stark made a grave mistake and it changed the match in favour of their rivals as the defending champions lost 3-2. Nevertheless, the referee said sorry to the club for his error but the athletic supervisor claimed that the apology
is no good to them. He admitted it is a welcoming gesture.
"It is certainly okay that he apologised. There are no two opinions on the matter. The scene was so clear, what else needs to be said? It will not bring us back the two points, so there is no use for this anymore,” he added.
The club official was disappointed with the poor decision and the result leaves them 14 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich.
"Everyone saw that the referee influenced the game greatly to our disadvantage. The decisive moment was in the 35th minute,” he mused.
"Firstly, there was an offside. Secondly, which is much more serious, Schmelzer cleared the ball with his knee, he was not doing anything intentional or unnatural that merited a penalty,” he finally concluded.
Zorc stated that everyone is aware of the fact that BVB faced defeat because of refereeing reasons. He further added that the move was even offside and Schmelzer did not use his hand at all. Dortmund were dominating the clash before
the defender was sent-off.
