Overview
- DFB sports court chairman Stephan Oberholz ruled the on-field call was not gravely and indisputably wrong, making the referee’s post-match admission irrelevant to the legal standard.
- Luis Díaz will serve a one-match ban and is set to miss Bayern’s upcoming Bundesliga game against Union Berlin.
- Video review could not assist during the incident because current VAR protocol in Germany does not permit intervention on yellow-card offenses.
- Bayern executives, including Uli Hoeneß and president Herbert Hainer, condemned the officiating, while DFB representatives such as Alex Feuerherdt defended the process and outcome.
- In a separate ruling from the same match, Nicolas Jackson received a two-game suspension for his straight red card.
