The runner-up of Bayern lost at the last minute

The silver medalist Schalke 04 has begun to lose the new season in the First Bundesliga after retreating 1:2 in a visit to Wolfsburg, which has escaped from a barrage. The decisive goal fell in the added time when the reserve Daniel Ginczek scored for the hosts. The duel was extremely strenuous and was marked by controversial judges and the use of the Video Assistant referee system. The Miners dominated the first 20 minutes but did not reach the goal. Then Wolfsburg pressed and in the 33rd minute John Anthony Brooks realized 1:0 after a corner kick. Mark Uth could quickly restore his draw, but the Wolves goalkeeper was screaming.

In the 66th minute, the main referee, Patrick Ittrich, chased the Schalke 04 defender Matija Nastasic with a red card. Initially, he lifted him a yellow for dangerous entry into the feet of Wout Weghorst, but then he looked at a record of the situation and removed the serb. His decision was debatable, and it seems that the referee himself felt obligated to the guests and two minutes later he hurried to flush a red card to the same Wout Weghorst in a situation where he collided with Guido Burgstaller. There was a bit of disagreement here, and VAR had to be used, and then he realized he had been wrong and replaced the red card with yellow after he had pulled out a yellow card to Burgstaller. After all this talk, the players of the selected season`s coach Domenico Tedesco still managed to reach the leveling. In the 85th minute, Breel Embolo a substitute, took a penalty that Nabil Bentaleb made for 1:1. Shortly thereafter, Schalke`s players missed a lead of 2:1, from which they shuffled. Ginczek brought the Wolfsburg success with his debut for the Bundesliga team after finding a way to Ralf Fahrmann`s door.
