After Germany's 2-1 dramatic win against Sweden last night, it created a lot of fuss when some of the Germans reacted to the victory by clapping and making gestures towards the Swedish bench.





RB Leipzig star Emil Forsberg said he was very disappointed with what he deemed "a disgusting behaviour" from the Germans.



"That showed a lack of respect. A disgusting behaviour," Forsberg told Swedish TV4 after the game.



The Swedish national team coach Janne Andersson was also infuriated by the gestures.



"Some German leaders celebrated the victory by running towards us and mocking us with gestures. Disrespectful. That pissed me off. There were many at our bench who reacted to it. You can't act like that," Andersson told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.



German press officer Hans-Ulrich Voigt as well as general team manager Oliver Bierhoff were both involved, and according to Voigt they have both said sorry.





"I have apologized. I just clapped towards the Swedish bench. It wasn't okay," Hans-Ulrich Voigt told Aftonbladet and added:



"Everything is all right. Bierhoff has also apologized."



The German national team have also tweeted an apology:



"It was an emotional game. In the end, a few reactions or gestures from our staff towards the Swedish bench were too emotional. That's not our style. Therefore, we have apologized to the Swedish coach and his team. Sorry!," the tweet says.
