Overview

• Bayern won 3-0 in Frankfurt, with a would-be 1-1 by Jean-Mattéo Bahoya overturned after a VAR check.
• Review footage showed the ball contacting Ritsu Doan’s hand before the assist, leading Daniel Siebert to rule out the goal under the “hand goes to the ball” standard.
• Siebert said he perceived the touch but misinterpreted it in real time, noting he wished he had whistled the play dead immediately.
• Ex-Bundesliga referee Manuel Gräfe argued the contact was unintentional in the buildup, saying the goal should have counted and the VAR should not have intervened.
• Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller and sporting director Markus Krösche questioned whether the handball qualified as part of the immediate attacking phase, voicing frustration despite a broadly deserved Bayern win.
