Lighter throw against Bochum’s goalkeeper: DFB dish decides on point deduction for Union Berlin

Bochum’s goalkeeper is hit by a lighter from the fan block from Union Berlin, the referee lets on, the players agree on a tie. You should leave it.

MArtin Petersen knows what it feels like to get a lighter on the head. In 2015 he was the referee of the DFB Cup game between Osnabrück and Leipzig when one hit him on the right temple. Petersen broke out the game at 1-0 for VfL 20 minutes before the end, the DFB sports court evaluated the game for Leipzig because the throw came from the Osnabrück Block.
