Women's Bundesliga: DFB rejects appeal against replay of Freiburg match

The sports tribunal of the German Football Association (DFB) has rejected Bayer 04's appeal against a replay of the Women's Bundesliga match at SC Freiburg (3-2). That's the outcome of a hearing at the DFB Campus in Frankfurt on Tuesday. Originally, SC had lodged an appeal against the match result.

In mid-September, the sports tribunal ruled by a single judge that the fixture from Matchday 1 must be replayed. The works club lodged an appeal against this decision, after which the verbal hearing was scheduled. Bayer 04 now has one week to appeal to the DFB federal court. This step is currently being reviewed.

In the 88th minute of the match on 31 August at the Dreisamstadion, referee Theresa Hug awarded Leverkusen a penalty. Kristin Kögel fired over the bar but the official allowed the spot-kick to be retaken as goalkeeper Rafaela Borggräfe had moved off her line too early. Kögel converted the second attempt to make it 3-2, the final score.
