Eintracht Frankfurt Denied Penalty Against Borussia Dortmund, Referee Admits That He Made a Mistake

• Eintracht Frankfurt were defeated by Borussia Dortmund but were unlucky not to get a penalty
• Sascha Stegemann admitted that he was wrong in not giving Frankfurt a penalty against Dortmund
• Karim Adeyemi brought down Jesper Lindstrøm in the box and later admitted that it should have been a foul

The referee in the Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund game has admitted that he made a wrong decision in not giving The Eagles a penalty.

Dortmund beat Frankfurt 2-1, but we're lucky to seemingly get away with a penalty shout in the first half.

The Black and Yellow's Karim Adeyemi brought down Jesper Lindstrøm in the box during the first 45 minutes, with the scores level at 1-1.

Sascha Stegemann waved away the shouts for a penalty, and the Video Assistant Referee found no clear and obvious error with his decision.

However, Stegemann has now admitted that he made the wrong decision by now awarding the penalty, BVBBuzz reported.

“When I see the images now with the corresponding camera angles, I have to clearly state that it should have been a penalty kick for Eintracht Frankfurt.”

Jude Bellingham grabbed Dortmund's second goal in the second half as they claimed victory, but debate still rages on about the penalty.

Adeyemi was asked after the game about the decision and replied that he really didn't care and didn't think it was a penalty.

The young attacker has since retracted his statement, adding that he agrees with some of his teammates that a foul should have been given, Bulinews reported.

The RB Salzburg striker has enjoyed a stellar campaign this season, and reports had emerged that Manchester United were interested in bringing him to England.

The Red Devils were ready to offer as much as 150,000 euros per week to convince him to sign a deal with them. Adeyemi is, however, convinced that Dortmund is the ideal next step for him, Sports Brief reported.
