Goal line technology in the final of the German Cup – The Game

The technology on the goal line will be first used in Germany in the Cup final between VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund on 30 May in Berlin, said on Monday the German Football Federation (DFB).

“It will be a historic game for it,” said Helmut Sandrock , general secretary of the DFB, confirming the statements of various leaders of German clubs in the sense that technology be premiered in the cup final.

The end of 2014 Germany Cup between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, which ended with the victory of the first 2-0 provoked much controversy, since a ball headed by Mats Hummels was deflected by Dante, apparently after having crossed the goal line.

The arbitrator held that no, but the controversy settled, why Sandrock considers that it “could not repeat on behalf of the sports true.”

The goal line technology should be used also in the German Super Cup scheduled for early August, before being implemented in the German League next season.

The use of technology in the line of goal was adopted by the Bundesliga clubs in early December, receiving the agreement more two-thirds of the 18 elite clubs (15 versus three), and the choice fell on the system ‘hawk eye’ used for several years on the world tennis circuit, but also in the Premiership.
