Bochum keeper hit by lighter at Union Berlin so teams agree to play out draw
Goalkeeper struck in stoppage time with score at 1-1Referee takes teams off, then Bochum put striker in goal
Bochum will protest to the German football association after their goalkeeper Patrick Drewes was hit by a lighter in their Bundesliga draw at Union Berlin on Saturday, with the teams later returning to the pitch to finish the match without trying to score.
With the game level at 1-1 and added time ticking down, the 31-year-old Drewes was hit by a lighter thrown from the crowd, causing him to fall to the ground. “He is currently being taken to the hospital where he will be completely checked again, and then we will wait and see,” said Bochum’s coach, Dieter Hecking.
