Bayer Leverkusen Appeals DFB Ruling on Match Replay

Bayer challenges the decision to replay their Bundesliga match against SC Freiburg, citing disagreement with the judgment on a critical penalty incident.

• Bayer Leverkusen is appealing the DFB's decision to replay their match against SC Freiburg in the Women's Bundesliga.
• The controversy centers around a penalty awarded to Leverkusen in the 88th minute, which was retaken after the referee ruled Freiburg's goalkeeper moved too early.
• Bayer's appeal follows the DFB Sportgericht's rejection of their initial protest and confirmation of the September 19 ruling for a match replay.
• Freiburg argued that the referee's decision to allow the penalty retake was a rule violation, impacting the final score of 3-2 in favor of Leverkusen.
• The case will now move to the DFB-Bundesgericht, where Bayer hopes to overturn the decision mandating a new match.
