Overview

• DFB Schiri GmbH spokesman Alex Feuerherdt said checking how a freekick was taken falls outside the VAR’s remit.
• Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa saw a 66th-minute strike canceled after Castello Lukeba dribbled a restart instead of playing the ball, a rules breach missed by on-field officials.
• Video assistant Tobias Welz alerted referee Florian Badstübner during a stoppage, and after conferring with assistant Markus Schüller the goal was withdrawn.
• Bayern captain Joshua Kimmich’s vehement protests, for which he was booked, led the referee to consult the VAR about the irregular freekick.
• No stadium announcement explained the reversal because the intervention was not classified as an official VAR review.
