"On-site decision! A handball from Sebastian Rudy! A penalty kick for Mainz!"
"Oh, come on!"
The moment the decision was announced, all the Schalke players groaned. Honestly, it was as if they were on a run of bad luck today, with two penalties coming from the same VAR scenario.
Honestly, it felt like karma was playing a role here. After being favored by the VAR last game with two fifty-fifty incidents resulting in their favor, today, they got two decisions made by VAR that went against them. To make it worse, those two ended up in a penalty kick, probably the worst possible scenario of all times.
"Are you really sure that it is a handball?" Omar Mascarell still tried to push his luck here, unwilling to accept the decision straight away. "It probably only hits his waist, you know? Side? It is a bit harsh to give them a penalty for that when you have already given them one before…"
