The second part of Borussia Dortmund-Sevilla The round of 16 of the Champions League was marked by controversy. Haaland claimed a penalty in minute 47 after Koundé hit him with his arm. The play continued with the attack of Sevilla and the one against Dortmund that culminated in the second goal of Haaland. The players from Seville angrily protested the Norwegian forward's clash with Fernando before the goal. It was then that Çakir, referee of the match, went to the monitor after the warning of Irrati, in the VOR room, to check the gap between Koundé and Haaland and signaled a penalty for the Germans.
For Iturralde, member of AS and Carousel, the referee is wrong: “First there is a penalty from Koundé to Haaland for grabbing and as the ball does not come out, everything goes back. For me it is not a penalty. If they grab you by the shirt from behind you do not fall forward. Sevilla protest the clash. There is nothing. “
The controversy continued when Bono made an ugly gesture to the Dortmund forward after the first penalty shot was stopped. The Moroccan faced the Norwegian, but Çakir ordered the launch to be repeated. This time Haaland did not fail and after scoring he went to Bono and several Sevilla players reproached the striker for the gesture. Iturralde said about the repetition of the penalty: “Do you think that with the two centimeters the goalkeeper takes advantage? The rule is what it is and penalizes you even one centimeter.”
The Sevilla players claimed a penalty in 96 '. Both Lopetegui and his squad complained to Çakir about one of the last actions of the match and that the referee did not signal and then whistle the end of the match.
