Eklat in Berlin: Wurf on goalkeeper Drewes - VfL Bochum raises an objection!

VfL Bochum is under pressure after a shocking incident in the Bundesliga game against 1. FC Union Berlin. A lighter was thrown on goalkeeper Patrick Drewes, which led to a more than 25-minute interruption. Bochum's managing director Ilja Kaenzig announced that the club will object to the evaluation of the game (1: 1), since in his opinion the referee should have stopped the match. "That just doesn't belong," said striker Philipp Hofmann about the incident that Drewes took to the hospital after he was borne by the field. The referee, Martin Petersen, ultimately decided to continue the game, which both teams only explained in protest, as Sueddeutsche.de

After the restart, which was referred to as a "non-attack pact", the teams only played passively, without serious attack. This happened in front of 22,012 spectators who had to question both the DFB order and the fair play idea. Drewes had not returned, and since Bochum could no longer change, Hofmann took his position in the goal. "We sat down in the referee cabin," added coach Dieter Hecking. "It is bad what happened and I hope that something like this will not be repeated," he added in retrospect for the incident, which questions the security in the stadium, as well as the berlin-live.de Article.

Due to the confusing circumstances and the incident, the sporting competition is neglected. Bochum remains at the end of the league without a win from the last 16 games, while Union Berlin is also in a crisis because they have not won for eight competitive games. The pressure on both teams, especially before the winter break, increases while both Bochum and the Union have to fight for their position in the league.
