Questionable Referee Decision Leads To Bayer Leverkusen Late Winner Vs Inter Milan

UEFA referee Slavko Vincic wasn’t up to the task in Tuesday’s Champions League meeting between Bayer Leverkusen and Inter Milan.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Slovenian official made several questionable decisions at the BayArena.

Leverkusen toppled Inter in a heartbreaking fashion.

Nordi Mukiele bagged a 90th-minute winner to end the Italian heavyweights’ near-flawless European start.

Indeed, Simone Inzaghi oversaw his first defeat in the newly formatted league phase.

Though it’s fair to admit that Die Werkself outplayed the Nerazzurri, it takes nothing away from Vincic’s woeful officiating.

Slavko Vincic Fails to Live Up to Task in Bayer Leverkusen vs Inter Milan Champions League Clash

Vincic showed Inter players two yellow cards in the opening half an hour.

However, he harshly booked Hakan Calhanoglu for protesting before sanctioning Carlos Augusto for holding back Granit Xhaka.

While Inter fans would probably pardon him for those calls, his decision eventually affected the final score.

Vincic’s decision to award Leverkusen a corner ultimately set the stage for Mukiele’s decisive goal.

But his assistant had to raise the flag for Jeremie Frimpong’s obvious offside in the build-up.

Instead, Xabi Alonso’s team got a corner and went on to score a last-goal winner.
