The defender and goal scorer for the meantime for the home side had tried to clarify in the duel with Jansen and missed both the ball and the opponent. “I am a meter away from him, so I was shocked that there was a penalty at all,” said the 25-year-old. “But Max was honest, that is worth it,” Boeder praised his former teammate, with whom he had played together at MSV Duisburg in the 2019/20 season.

“My first thought was: horny – he fell for it”
