Referee Stark's performance costs Borussia an easy victory

What was one of the defensive plays of this season turned into the beginning of a horrible afternoon in Dortmund. It was ten minutes to go in the first half, when Wolfsburg had its first real attempt for the goal. Vieirinha, though offside, was nicely released on the left, while Weidenfeller left his goal but could not reach for the ball. The Portuguese played the ball back to Dost, who would have scored the goal, if it hadn't been for Schmelzer to block the ball with his knee. Great play, but not, well, for referee Wolfgang Stark. For whatever reason, he felt that Schmelzer used his hand and opted for a penalty and a red card. An outrageous decision, and it wasn't Stark's first one.
