Scandal in the stadium: Lighter throwing changes entire relegation battle!

In a dramatic turning point in the Bundesliga, the result of the controversial game between Union Berlin and VfL Bochum was re -evaluated. After a lighter throw from the Union fan block on Bochum goalkeeper Patrick Drewes, the Federal Supreme Court of the German Football Association (DFB) decided to evaluate the game 2-0 for Bochum. This reports Laola1 . The incident occurred during injury time on December 14th, when Drewes had to get off the field injured and the game continued by a field player, Philipp Hofmann. The encounter had ended with a 1-1

The DFB sports court decided on January 9 to cancel the game due to the incident and to be regarded for Bochum. Union Berlin then appealed, supported by the clubs Holstein Kiel and St. Pauli, who were all feared for their place in the relegation battle. However, the appeals were dismissed, which Union President Dirk Zingler prompted to speak of a politically motivated judgment. He expressed that football could suffer from this decision and that one would now pull in front of the constant arbitration tribunal to defend themselves against the judgment, like ndr reported.

dramatic effects on the table

By re -assessing the game, the situation in the relegation battle is considerably shifting. Bochum would thus overtake the place in the table of 1. FC Heidenheim and settle for two points. Union Berlin, on the other hand, would have to hand in a point, but remains in 13th place with 23 points. The verdict has far -reaching consequences for the teams that are involved in the relegation battle and shows how unexpected incidents in the football world can change the table levels.
