Did you know a substitute can give away a penalty without even playing? This happened to Holstein Kiel’s Michael Eberwein in a Bundesliga 2 match against Bochum. While warming up on the sidelines, Eberwein stopped a ball that he thought was out of play. However, the ball was still in action, and VAR quickly caught the mistake. Because he interfered with the play, the referee awarded a penalty to Bochum and showed Eberwein a yellow card. According to the rules, if a substitute interferes while the ball is in play, it can lead to a penalty if it happens in the penalty area. Bochum took advantage of this strange situation and scored from the penalty kick. This incident makes you think about the rules for substitutes and their role in the game. Do you think that’s a crazy rule? Hit like!
