Hoffenheim have called for their Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen to be replayed after referee Felix Brych awarded a 'ghost' goal that
proved decisive.

Visitors Leverkusen went 2-0 in front when Stefan Kiessling was credited with the controversial goal during the second half, and a late reply from Sven Schipplock was only a consolation for Hoffenheim.


Hoffenheim lodged an appeal against Friday's result after television replays confirmed Kiessling's header entered the goal through the side-netting.

'There was no indication that it was not a regular goal," Brych, a FIFA referee, said at the Rhein- Neckar-Arena.
'I had a bit of doubt, but the reaction of the players was clear. There was nothing to suggest otherwise.


His comments, reported on Hoffenheim's website, reflected Leverkusen's players celebrating the goal and Hoffenheim's defenders looking away as if it was valid.

Kiessling initially appeared disappointed with the miss, then shocked that his team-mates congratulated him. The referee's mistake could have consequences though, like an almost identical precedent in Bayern Munich's 2-1 win over Nurnberg in 1994.
In that game, Bayern's Thomas Helmer dragged an attempt wide of the goal, but the linesman on the opposite side of the field claimed it had gone in and the referee agreed. That game was replayed, with Bayern running out 5-0 winners.

Men i saw that yesterday. i was amazed. Initially, the Ref thought it was no goal but has to say its a goal when he finds that ball in the net and it was so fast. the players and goal keeper thought it was a goal too. it was the players jugging on the back of the post that saw the net was teared and complained but the ref has already awarded the goal.

you can blame the ref though. not his fault at all. lines man did check the net before the start of the match and found nothing. its not ref fault but he was confused as to say its no goal.

lessons for others
