On Thursday 19 May 2020, VfB Stuttgart lodged an appeal with the German Football Association (DFB) regarding the result of the Bundesliga 2 match between SV Wehen Wiesbaden and VfB.
Sporting director Sven Mislintat: “The reason for our appeal is that we are convinced that the behaviour of the referee in the build-up to the winning goal for SV Wehen Wiesbaden constituted a contravention of the laws of the game, and one which had a direct influence on the eventual result of the match.“
