Baumgart Slams VAR After Bayern Rescue Draw at Union Berlin

The Union coach questioned millimetre offside calls, doubting the calibrated lines that erased Ilyas Ansah’s early goal.

Overview

  • FC Bayern Munich drew 2–2 at Union Berlin after Harry Kane scored a 90+3 minute equaliser.
  • Union led twice through Danilho Doekhi, who scored in the 27th and again late in the second half to put the hosts back in front.
  • Manuel Neuer acknowledged a handling mistake on Doekhi’s first goal, saying he chose the wrong technique under pressure.
  • Ilyas Ansah’s ninth-minute strike was ruled offside on VAR review after a lengthy check, with referee Florian Exner overturning the on‑field decision.
  • Steffen Baumgart denounced the precision and consistency of offside line‑drawing, citing a Bremen comparison and calling the margin ‘five millimetres’ in a fiery TV interview.
