Overview

• Soumahoro was shown a yellow card inside the first minute for a foul on Michael Olise.
• A VAR review confirmed a handball by Soumahoro against Serge Gnabry, and Harry Kane converted the penalty to make it 3–0.
• Referee Tobias Stieler said the handball lacked intent and he doubted it stopped a promising attack, so he did not issue a second yellow.
• Sky’s Wolff-Christoph Fuss and Lothar Matthäus criticized the decision, arguing a booking should have followed that would have led to a dismissal.
• Polzin replaced Soumahoro at the break for risk management, with Daniel Elfadli stepping in as HSV weigh backline options pending Jordan Torunarigha’s fitness.
