Hand penalty
Fuss over penalty kick! Was Salzburg cheated here?
It took eight minutes before Salzburg goalkeeper Alexander Schlager had to pick the ball out of the net for the first time against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday. The penalty scored by Florian Wirtz was preceded by a highly controversial refereeing decision.
In the sixth minute, Xhaka took a shot at the visitors' goal but failed to find the target. Instead, the ball bounced off Samson Baidoo's thigh and onto his arm and the referee awarded a penalty.
Yes, the arm was outstretched and yes, the ball did touch it, but only because the leather bounced unnaturally. The protests from the team from Mozartstadt were correspondingly strong, but it did not change the decision and the German champions took the lead after just under eight minutes.
