Edin Terzic: Borussia Dortmund should've had a penalty against Bayer Leverkusen

The BVB took the lead after only five minutes as Julian Ryerson found the back of the net, but a 79th-minute strike from Victor Boniface secured the draw for the hosts.

Karim Adeyemi appeared to win a penalty for the visitors but didn't convince the referee, and the decision was upheld after a VAR review.

Terzic believes Adeyemi has been treated unfairly in recent games, and deserved to get a spot-kick.

"I made my opinion clear about the penalty situation with Karim Adeyemi. And this is not the first time - especially with Karim.

"It's about finding a healthy balance there, and when you see what is whistled in other stadiums...

"But here, you can clearly see the contact on the shin, and when we have to hear things that have nothing to do with this incident but affect the match evaluation, then there is no room for two opinions for me.

"That is a clear contact, a clear penalty. We would have had a great opportunity to make it 2-0. That was taken away from us in that situation, and I told the referee that at that moment."

He added: "He accelerated properly between two people. That is very difficult to defend. And that is the referee's reaction. That's what we have the VAR for.

"Then look at it and do something about it, and then tell me that the contact is not enough. But that is simply the wrong decision in this situation. I stick to that."
