Court tilts Bundesliga game rating after scandalous lighter throw!
In December 2024, a scandal game between 1. FC Union Berlin and VfL Bochum overshadowed the Bundesliga. A fan from the Union fan block had thrown a lighter on Bochum goalkeeper Patrick Drewes, who hit him on the head. The game that took place in the stadium on the old forester was then interrupted for more than 30 minutes. Although the game ended with a 1-1, the DFB sports court now took the Bochum's appeal and evaluated the game 2-0 for VfL Bochum. This reported, among others, RBB24.
Patrick Drewes could not continue playing as a result of the incident and had to be replaced by his team -mate Philipp Hofmann. The Bochumers only played too ninth in the last few minutes because a player had already seen the red card. In the end, the game was played in a passive attitude of both teams, without any offensive actions, which led to a quiet final score. T-Online reports that Drewes had to go to the hospital and for several days with training session had to.
consequences of the scandal and other procedures
In addition to the objection to the game rating, there is another procedure in which Union Berlin is held responsible for the behavior of the audience. The sports court could impose a fine here, but there are also ways that punishments such as a block lock or a ghost game are pronounced. All events related to the tragic game have led to a heated discussion in which even ex-referees have made allegations against Drewes that he could have exaggerated. Bochum's managing director Ilja Kaenzig and coach Dieter Hecking also critically commented on the discussions that Drewes concerned.
The classification of the game as a 2-0 win for Bochum could have an impact on the competition, but Bochum remains the bottom of the table and Union Berlin in twelve of the Bundesliga table. Nevertheless, VfL has only two points behind the relegation place due to the judgment. This could gain considerable importance in the remaining games of the season, as also emphasized by RBB24 and T-Online.
