Overview
- Elye Wahi’s 23rd‑minute backheel finish was ruled out because referee Christian Dingert had already whistled for a foul by Arthur Theate on Patrick Mainka.
- Dino Toppmöller labeled the call “definitely not acceptable” and said a series of recent decisions has gone against Eintracht Frankfurt.
- He argued the phase should have been allowed to continue so that the video assistant referee could review the incident.
- Heidenheim captain Patrick Mainka said the contact did not clearly constitute a foul and admitted his side benefited.
- The match ended 1:1 and there is no indication of an official review or ruling that would alter the result.
