Bayern Munich’s Kim Min-jae Faces Controversy Over Deleted Assist Record in German Bundesliga

[라이프치히=AP/뉴시스] Bayern Munich’s Kim Min-jae (center) is greeting fans after the match against Leipzig in the 6th round of the 2023-24 German professional soccer Bundesliga held at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Germany on the 30th of last month (local time). Kim Min-jae played full time and the game was tied 2-2. 2023.10.01.

National soccer team defender Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich)’s first assist record after advancing to the German stage was suddenly deleted.

On the 19th (Korean time), the German Bundesliga deleted 1 goal and 1 assist out of Kim Min-jae’s record of 1 goal and 1 assist for this season’s attack points listed on the official website.

Of the 1 goal and 1 assist Kim Min-jae scored in the 15th round home game against Stuttgart (3-0 win) in the 2023-2024 season German Bundesliga on the 18th, 1 was cancelled.

Kim Min-jae, who started as a central defender during this game, contributed to teammate Harry Kane’s goal in the 10th minute of the second half with the team leading 1-0. In a free kick situation, he dropped the ball with his head and Kane scored again with his head.

However, the Bundesliga secretariat appears to have judged that the ball hit the head of a Stuttgart defender who was competing for a header with Minjae Kim and bounced to Kane.

Because of this, Kim Min-jae postponed his opportunity to make his first assist in the Bundesliga.

In addition to this scene, there were other situations that Kim Min-jae could feel unfair about.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae took part in a free kick attack and hit the net with a header, but offside was declared. Criticism was raised that the decision was unclear because Kim Min-jae was caught starting behind the opponent’s defense.

In the 1st minute of added time in the first half, Kim Min-jae cut the ball through forward pressure and assisted Thomas Müller’s goal, but this was also ruled an offside foul. In this scene, criticism arose that the decision was inaccurate as it was confirmed that a Stuttgart defender was caught closer to the goal line than Müller.
