Hammarby: refereeing mistakes every week after missed penalty in cup final

Hammarby lost heavily to Mjällby in the cup final. The outcome hinged on a missed penalty in the final seconds. "I think it's a penalty," says goalkeeper Warner Hahn.

It was in the final seconds of the match that Hammarby's Paulos Abraham went down in the penalty area. The referee decided not to award a penalty. After the match, there was great disappointment in the Hammarby camp, who believed the referee had missed a clear foul.

"If you take a risk as a defender at that moment, and at that speed, I think it was a penalty," Warner Hahn says, and continues:

"You keep saying we don't want VAR, but you see a lot of mistakes every week, all the time now," he says, shaking his head.

Team captain Nahir Besara was also very disappointed.

"With this support we get, I'm so sorry we can't give back," he says.
