I always disliked how much people criticised Kiessling for letting it count.
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.
