Boy s shot rebounded to the defender s arm to create a point! Haman questioned: I ve had enough, this is not football

Bayern beat Hoffenheim 4-1 in this round of the Bundesliga, and a penalty shot created by Boy in the game caused controversy.

On Sky Sports, guest Harman said emotionally: "When I heard the 'rules allow such a penalty', I want to say that we have to modify the rules! I'm fed up! This has nothing to do with football itself. We can't give a penalty because of this situation. This is wrong, completely wrong, and not in line with the spirit of football. If someone says this is football, this is handball - that's not! That's all nonsense! "

Not long after the second half, Hoffenheim defender Haidari blocked Boy's close shot, the ball first hit his thigh and then bounced to his outstretched right arm. Referee Hartman directly awarded a penalty without VAR intervening.

Referee Hartman explained after the game: "From the perspective of rules, I cannot avoid making a penalty on this handball. Of course, it is cruel for the defender. His arm and body are almost 90 degrees open and are in a nervous state. When the shot occurs, his arm has been opened in advance, thus blocking the ball. According to the rules, this is a 100% clear penalty. "

When asked why "the tentacles after the ball is refracted" does not affect the penalty, the referee said: "Because his arm was already in that position before the ball touches the ball, because he is nervous, because it is a shot. So from the rule, refraction or not does not affect the penalty. "

Hoffenheim coach Christian Ilzer emphasized at a press conference that this "definitely should not be a penalty." His views were supported by experts. Harman questioned: "I won't give such a penalty. The ball bounced from the calf and flew into the air five meters high... Yes, where can he put his arm? This is a natural arm movement. He didn't deliberately reach out to block the ball. When you turn that way, his arm will be in that position. "

He thinks this penalty (Kane used this to rewrite the score to 2-0) changed the situation of the game: "Bayern is indeed a little lucky, although they calmly won the game later. "Expert Eric Meyer also agreed with Harman: "I think this is too harsh, but in 2025, the rules are like this. "

Michael Barack also questioned the referee's "argument logic" when analyzing the game at DAZN. He mentioned the rule explanation, that is, if the ball first touches other parts of the body and then refracts before touching the hand, it usually does not constitute a handball foul that can be punished for a penalty kick.

Barak said: "The current explanation is: the arm is in a tense state at the time... The arm is a body part that will naturally open when running. When someone shoots, I will certainly be nervous as a defensive player. For me, 'the arm is in a tense state' cannot be a reason for the penalty. " But he also said helplessly: " But it has come to this point. The referee awarded a penalty and finally gave an explanation, but he can only accept it. "

Referee Hartman confirmed that he communicated with the video assistant referee (VAR) Guido Winkman, but did not go to the sidelines to watch it in person because his decision on the court was confirmed by the VAR office in Cologne. He explained: "A clear and clear penalty, I don't need to watch the replay anymore, it will only be confirmed." "
