However, the VAR interpreted that yes there was offside of Henrichs, since the German footballer does contact with Lunin when going out of the area girl. The mediocentro grieve brushed to the guardameta, but this is sufficient to happen of an offside passive to the active. From here that the Leipzig played the party without advantage until Brahim Díaz opened the marker with a golazo in the minute 48. Afterwards, Lunin, with his interventions, commissioned to preserve the advantage 'merengue'.
