Shame penalty from Leipzig
A penalty decision in the game between 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig and BFC Dynamo in the 1985/86 season of the GDR football league was described as a shame penalty for Leipzig . Subsequently, the German Football Association , the umbrella organization for football in the GDR , suspended referee Bernd Stumpf permanently for the first time .
Course of the game
The game of 1. FC Lok against BFC Dynamo took place on March 22, 1986 in the sold out Bruno-Plache Stadium in Leipzig in front of 13,000 spectators. While the defending champion and series champion from Berlin led the table before this 18th matchday, the host Lok Leipzig had to win in fourth place in order not to lose the connection prematurely in the championship battle. Leipzig took the lead in the second minute through Olaf Marschall and held the lead into stoppage time. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, after a duel between the locomotive player Hans Richter and Bernd Schulz from the BFC , referee Bernd Stumpf decided on a penalty for the BFC, whose legitimacy could not be fully explained by the television images. Frank Pastor converted the penalty kick to the final score of 1: 1, with the Leipzig team having eight game days before the end with an unchanged six points deficit and now fifth place apparently eliminated from the title fight. The fact that, contrary to expectations, the old and new champions were supposed to come within two points of the old and new champions by the end of the season made the game explosive after the fact.
Consequences
Due to the alleged years of preferential treatment by the BFC, a tense and aggressive mood was evident before the game. After the controversial penalty decision by the Jena referee, unprecedented consequences were drawn at association level in GDR football. The chairman of 1. FC Lok, Peter Giessner and high SED officials in the Leipzig district spoke openly of fraud and demanded that such explosive games no longer take place during the trade fair , "because foreign guests could also hear something from the shoving". For referee Bernd Stumpf, a one-year league ban was requested before he was permanently banned from all league games due to persistent negative headlines. The referee committee of the DFV was suspended and newly appointed. In various reports, this game went down in history as the shame penalty from Leipzig .
However, a training video from a different perspective, which was only published in 2000, proved the correctness of the penalty whistle at that time and the unjustified sanction of Stumpf.
