I always disliked how much people criticised Kiessling for letting it count.
I’ve been playing in some goals recently that have a lot of holes in the side and it’s really hard to tell sometimes. Even when you’re pretty sure whether it was a goal or not the other people there disagree.
Obviously he thought he missed, but then when you see the ball in the net, you would go huh, it went in - because what are the chances a Bundesliga goal has a hole in it big enough for a ball?

Kiessling didn’t let it count, the referee did. Kiessling obviously knew what had happened and it looked like he told the referee but he allowed it anyway. There’s nothing more Kiessling could have done.
Kießling followed the ball and threw up his hands in horror and directly realized that it didn’t go in. When Brych later confronted him he didn’t admit it.
