That's wrong. It was "gleiche Höhe".
You are probably right Uwe, but you know a fan of the team who conceded the goal will always say the play was "offside." LOL!! :D

That's wrong. It was "gleiche Höhe".
Here is the screen shot from the TV feed. The rule stipulates that "gleiche Hoehe" does not apply to any part of a player body that can play the ball being closer to the goal that the second to last defender. So, in other words, if Reisinger's body is even but his legs or head (or even his butt) is even a smidgeon closer to the goal than his main torso, he is not considered to be "even", he has an advantage and is offside.
So was the case with Herr Reisinger on the first goal.

Sad thing is...look at Schwarz's head! I hope Kurz re-runs and analyzes this footage with his defense. When I did my national youth license the first thing we were taught was to, when teaching defense, have your players recover, look around (including BEHIND them) in order to cover up. Rookie mistake by Schwarz. But he had a hell of a game otherwise.
