The hero of the two incidents was the player "Amin Adly", where the referee of the match arena, "Tobias Steller" both times thought that he had acted and claimed to fall inside the Bayern penalty area without interference from the opponent in order to get a penalty, to show him a yellow card in both times.
Each time, with the player's objection, "Steller" went to the mouse technique to review the incident and cancel the warning and give "Leverkusen" two penalties, through which he achieved his precious victory, and it was also remarkable that the referee was keen to apologize every time, the first of them took the initiative to shake hands with Adly, and the second was through his embrace of the French player.
