SPORT SCAN – At the heart of a controversy in Germany after deliberately degraded the lawn to disrupt a penalty taker, Marwin Hitz will pay a factor to 122.92 euros.
Not sanctioned sporting, Augsburg goalkeeper Marwin Hitz has been claimed 122.92 euros for the piece of lawn he has “plowed” the foot to the penalty spot Saturday, just before Cologne striker Anthony Modeste never misses his shot, the German press reported Tuesday.
“ This n is not for money, but a small punishment does not hurt , “said Han Rütten, head of sports venues in Cologne at the local daily Köln Express , making sure the money would be donated to a pediatric clinic in Cologne. The amount claimed corresponds to a square meter of lawn, two hours of work and VAT.
“ If they send me the bill as a wink, I would pay soon reception, although I think our responsibility lawn would repair the penalty spot soon , “replied Hitz on his Facebook page with a smiley at the end.
Saturday, just before the penalty kick is taken by Cologne at the meeting of the 15th day Bundesliga Hitz had damaged the turf with his cleats, under the eyes of the referee Daniel Siebert. Moments later, French striker Anthony Modeste Cologne fell by pulling and goalkeeper stopped the penalty kick (58th). Raul Bobadilla then gave the advantage to Augsburg in the 64th minute, a free kick, giving the victory to the Bavarians (1-0).
“ It was not the most appropriate action, I must admit. I will do it again more , “assured Hitz, while his coach Markus Weinzierl estimated that” the way he reacted was neither good nor intelligent, nor fair . ”
The former Germany coach Berti Vogts, commenting on the match for a television channel, suggested that the culprit make a donation of 50,000 euros to a charity to redeem his unsportsmanlike conduct. The German Federation said Monday that it would not launch investigation against Swiss porter aged 28.
