The leadership of Cologne believes that the victory of Borussia with a score of 5: 0 was predetermined by an erroneous decision of an arbitrator after using the system of video replay.
The controversial moment occurred in the last seconds of the first half of the fight of the fourth round of the championship of Germany Borussia D - Cologne.
The defender of the hosts Papastathopoulos scored after the corner, while before the ball crossed the goal line, referee Patrick Ittrich recorded goalkeeper Timo Horne. However, after the meeting with his video assistant, the referee scored all the same.
Representatives of Cologne are sure that in this situation the VAR system (video assistant of the referee) was used improperly, and since this episode affected the final result, "killing" the guests psychologically, the "goats" decided to demand a replay, ESPN.
For the team of Peter Shtoger, who lost four bouts in the Bundesliga out of four with a difference in goals scored and conceded 1-12, this is the worst start in the German championship since the season-1962/63.
