VfB Stuttgart beat SV Werder Bremen 2-1 away. Thanks to the first away win of the season, the Suevi are in eighth place in the table. But after that, it wasn’t the climber’s rise that made the big headlines, but a special goal from Silas Wamangituka.
VfB enters injury time with a 1-0 lead, Bremen assaults the tie. But then there is a supposedly harmless action in the host’s defense: Ömer Toprak lets a high ball dribble from his chest, Jiri Pavlenka hesitates a moment too long. Wamangituka, who is already missing a penalty, splashes in the middle and then has a free run to put the ball into the orphan goal.
The Congolese takes some provocative time on the road and waits before hitting the ball into the net from a short distance. Not everyone thinks his action is great. Werder forward Davie Selke, who in the 93rd minute avoided the Stuttgart goalkeeper’s second shutout in the championship and birthday boy Gregor Kobel with his goal, carries the 21-year-old to his chest. Both players are then cautioned by the referee, although Wamangituka was passive in the dispute with Selke.
But is the door even regular?
Regarding the rules, there was no unsportsmanlike conduct. Otherwise, a yellow card would not have been enough for the offending player, the hit would also have been disallowed and the game would have to be continued with an indirect free kick at the point of unsportsmanlike conduct.
Wamangituka did not put the ball down and head the ball over the line, but simply took a long time to finish. Bottom line: according to the rules, there is no reason not to yield the door.
So officially there was no mockery. However, Selke called “Sky” “disrespectful” and stated: “The boy plays a good game, he scores two goals. Then he should push the ball and be happy with his second goal and not run around here like everyone else. “
VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, for his part, protected his protégé, who faced five times this season: “Anyone who knows him knows that Wamangituka is a shy boy and in no way arrogant. I just wanted to play a bit for time, there was no bad intention. I understand Werder’s frustration, but that was not unsportsmanlike. “
