Bochum hit out at referee after home loss: "That's a clear penalty!"
VfL Bochum striker Moritz Broschinski and sporting director Marc Lettau criticized the officiating after Sunday's defeat at Freiburg.
The 23-year-old felt Bochum should have been awarded a penalty after he went down in the box following a challenge from Matthias Ginter.
"For me it's a clear penalty. The arm is around my neck and the arm has no right to be there. There can't be two opinions on that," he said in a post-match interview.
"And the worst thing that upsets me even more is that the referee didn't even look at it. I say 100 percent: If he looks at it, it's a penalty," Broschinski continued.
Bochum's sporting director Marc Lettau expressed similar thoughts.
"That's a clear foul. It has to be a penalty. The VAR has to intervene when he's in the penalty area," he said.
