DFB Orders Replay of Frauen-Bundesliga Match Between Leverkusen and Freiburg

A refereeing error involving a late penalty has led to the annulment of Leverkusen's 3-2 victory and the scheduling of a rematch.

The DFB Bundesgericht upheld a decision to replay the match after Freiburg's successful appeal regarding a refereeing error.
The controversy stemmed from an 88th-minute penalty, where Leverkusen's Kristin Kögel scored on a retake after missing the initial attempt.
The referee allowed the retake, citing early movement by Freiburg's goalkeeper, Rafaela Borggräfe, which Freiburg argued did not impact the shooter.
The DFB Sportgericht determined that Rule 14, Section 2 was misapplied, invalidating the original match result.
The date for the replay has not yet been announced, and Leverkusen's appeal to preserve the original result was denied.
