Eklat in Berlin: Lighter throw stops Bundesliga game between the Union and Bochum

In a turbulent Bundesliga game between the 1st FC Union Berlin and VfL Bochum, a scandalous incident occurred that brought the match to a standstill. In injury time, the goalkeeper Patrick Drewes was hit by a lighter on the head, which led to a 30-minute interruption while the players were sent to the cabins. Despite this dramatic situation, the game ended with a 1-1 draw when both teams followed a real "non-aggression pact" after the interruption by playing the ball. This happened after Drewes had to leave the field due to his injury, while Philipp Hofmann went into the goal as a replacement without a prior change of goalkeeper, as from rbb24 reported.

The incident occurred in the already heated match, which was strongly influenced by Bochum's red carpenter Koji Miyoshi, which was put down after only 13 minutes of the game. Despite this outnumber, Bochum managed the early tour of Ibrahima Sissoko in the 23rd minute. However, Union Berlin was able to compensate for when Benedict Hollerbach took care of the 1-1 break shortly before half-time. In the second half, Union tried to lead, but a controversial penalty was withdrawn by the Var. In this phase, too, there were clear opportunities for Union for Union, who had difficulty overcoming the Bochum defense block, especially on the offensive. As the Sportschau reports, Bochum will now be opposed to the result, since the game has broken out due to the incident have to be.
