Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng admitted Bayern Munich should have been given a stoppage-time penalty for his foul on Javi Martinez in the DFB-Pokal final. Bundesliga champions Bayern were not allowed a domestic double after Niko Kovac’s Frankfurt claimed a controversial 3-1 win in Berlin on Saturday.
Ante Rebic scored a brace, netting in the first half and again on the counter-attack with eight minutes remaining after Robert Lewandowski had equalised for Bayern.
VAR had ruled in favour of Rebic for Frankfurt’s second goal in the 82nd minute following calls for handball and Kovac’s men were lucky again when referee Felix Zwayer dismissed penalty appeals from Bayern players in the fourth minute of stoppage time, with Boateng appearing to foul Martinez in a frantic finish.
