Wie Sie sehen, sehen Sie nichts! Schiedsrichter Felix Bickel steht in Münster vor dem schwarzen VAR-Bildschirm. Die Übeltäter fliehen derweil über den Zaun.

Overview

  • DFB Schiri GmbH confirmed the pitchside VAR screen was unplugged during Münster–Hertha, after which referee Felix Bickel relayed video assistant Katrin Rafalski’s ruling to award a penalty that Fabian Reese converted.
  • Marten Winkler struck in the 90+3 minute to seal Hertha’s 2:1 victory, preserving a faint chance of climbing into the promotion race with nine matches left.
  • Preußen Münster said it regrets the incident, will seek to identify and hold the perpetrators accountable, and has begun measures to prevent a repeat.
  • Hannover 96 fell 1:2 at home to Greuther Fürth as Enzo Leopold missed a late penalty, damaging Hannover’s promotion bid while Fürth rose to the relegation playoff place.
  • In the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen beat Union Berlin 4:1 after András Schäfer’s early red card, lifting Werder off the relegation spot and leaving Union only four points above 16th.
