Donyell Malen had previously scored an impressive goal for Dortmund before Eindhoven&#8217;s Luuk de Jong converted a controversial spot kick in the 56th minute at the Philips Stadion.<\/p>\n<p>Dortmund defender Mats Hummels vehemently disagreed with the penalty call, stating, &#8220;Zero percent penalty, zero.&#8221; Hummels described the challenge on Malik Tillman, saying, &#8220;I go in for the tackle, I clearly get to the ball first, I change its course and then I make minimal contact. But this is football, I am sorry, zero penalty.&#8221; Despite Hummels&#8217; assertions, a VAR review upheld the on-field decision by referee Srdjan Jovanovic, leading to disappointment among the Dortmund players.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Mats Hummels is not a happy man \ud83d\ude20<\/p>\n<p>The Dortmund defender disagreed with the penalty awarded after his tackle on PSV&#8217;s Malik Tillman last night \u26bd\u274c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZVghtsOlu4\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/ZVghtsOlu4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BBCMOTD\/status\/1760209255691424185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 21, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Hummels further expressed his frustration with the officiating, citing a similar incident in a previous Champions League group game against Paris St Germain.
