The regulations point to a technical loss to Bayern, but Freiburg "will consider whether to complain"
The Bavarians' 1: 4 may turn into a loss due to the participation of 12 players, however the opponent has to accept that in order to activate the constitution.
Naglesman: "It did not affect the game at all"
Walla!

Summary: Freiburg - Bayern Munich 4: 1 (Sport 1)
A big embarrassment was recorded today (Saturday) in the game between Bayern Munich and Freiburg.
Although the German champions defeated their opponent 1: 4 away, the victory is in danger of becoming a technical loss after the Bavarians "played" with 12 players for 17 seconds, which caused the game to be stopped for a few minutes.

This is how it happened: With a 1: 3 advantage in the 86th minute, Bayern Munich made a double substitution, in which Nicklas Zola and Marcel Zavitzer were to replace Corinthen Tolisso and Kingsley Koeman.
But in the electronic sign waved by the fourth judge, the numbers 11 (of Koman) and 29 appeared - a number that is not in the group.
Tolisso, who came in himself as a substitute at an earlier stage, did not realize he had to leave and Zola went up to the pitch with Zavitzer.
After a few seconds everyone noticed that Bayern had 12 players, the inquiry lasted a few minutes and then the game resumed and continued until the end as usual.
According to the rules of the German association, if a player is not allowed to play or go on the pitch in any game, the team blamed for that player will suffer a technical 2-0 loss unless the game is not renewed by the referee after his entry.
However, no sanctions will be imposed on Bayern Munich if Freiburg does not complain about the breach, and according to the statement of the club's sporting director, it is not certain that this will happen.
Jochen Zaire said in reference to the mistake: "I need to look at it again calmly. We drew the referee's attention to the fact that Bayern were with 11 fielders. I do not know why time, do not think it lasted much. Then Koeman came off the pitch slowly. It was a spectacle. .
Defender Freiburg and the German national team, Niko Schluterbeck whose mistake allowed Serge Gnabry to score one of Bayern's goals, said at the end: "Nicklas Zola came in and I noticed no one came out. Then the game was renewed, However, I do not think he would have received it. "

Bayern coach Julian Naglesman responded to the incident: "It was an unclear situation. Tolisso suffered from stomach aches and ran to the locker room. Koeman did not know he too had to leave, and stayed on the pitch for eight or nine seconds. It did not affect the game at all."
It is important to note that it is not certain that the blame for the mistake should be attributed to Bayern Munich, because the wrong number on the electronic sign created confusion that explains why there is too one player left on the pitch.
Beyond that, even though it was a violation of the Constitution, it only happened for a few seconds that did not really affect the game, and would not be the most sporty on the part of Freiburg to petition for a technical victory in a game where its inferiority to the opponent was quite noticeable.
