After penalty blunder: European champion takes aim at BVB star Guirassy | OneFootball

After a costly mistake by Serhou Guirassy during the 3-3 draw between Dortmund and Frankfurt, expert Fredi Bobic delivers a harsh critique of the BVB striker—and at the same time, draws attention with a spot-on match prediction.

The 3-3 draw between Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund was one of the most spectacular games of the Bundesliga weekend—and yet it had one clear talking point. In the 21st minute, BVB striker Serhou Guirassy tried to help out in his own penalty area, but ended up catching Frankfurt captain Robin Koch on the thigh. Referee Daniel Schlager was in the perfect position and immediately awarded a penalty. Can Uzun didn’t let the opportunity slip and confidently leveled the score at 1-1. Previously, Maxi Beier had given Dortmund an early lead.

For Sky expert Fredi Bobic, the scene was symbolic of an unnecessary mistake in an already open match. In his halftime analysis, the 1996 European champion did not hold back with criticism and made it clear that Guirassy had misjudged the situation: “He really should have tried to get his body in front. Somehow, he completely lost sight of his opponent and, of course, goes right into the body—onto the leg.”

Bobic was even more explicit in his assessment of the decision: “And it’s a clear penalty, there’s no doubt about it. That’s a lapse that simply shouldn’t happen!”

Spot-on BVB Prediction: Bobic predicts the 3-3 draw even before kickoff

Almost overshadowed was another story of the evening: Bobic had predicted the final score exactly before the match even started. The former national player tipped a 3-3 draw—and was spot on. After the final whistle, even the experienced commentators were impressed. Frank Buschmann praised: “And what expertise from Fredi Bobic,” while Florian Schmidt-Sommerfeld incredulously added: “That’s just insane.”

Bobic later explained his bold prediction with a wink: “On one hand, I played for BVB myself. On the other, I was also very happy at Eintracht.” With two former clubs, it was hard for him to pick a winner—so he went for a draw, which also provided the fans with top entertainment. His conclusion on the match was accordingly enthusiastic: “That was a top match at Champions League level.”
