A draw, however, that came in a somewhat controversial way. <strong>Havertz equalized in the 90th minute from eleven meters after a rigorous penalty by Tillman on Madueke<\/strong>. The American player from Bayer Leverkusen very lightly blocked Madueke from behind before the English winger fell inside the area. <\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>Halil Umut Meler, the Turkish referee who directed the match, did not hesitate to point out the maximum penalty<\/strong> in the field. But what was surprising was not that. The play was reviewed in the VAR, but <strong>The Turk was not even notified from the VOR room to go check<\/strong> the play to the monitor. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Resignation in the local team<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Both Andrich, captain of the German team, and <u>Kasper Hjulmand<\/u>, <strong>showed their discontent<\/strong> with Meler&#8217;s decision at the end of the match: &#8220;E<strong>Arsenal&#8217;s goal was not a penalty.
