The DFB sports court will decide on sanctions for VfL Bochum at a later date. The DFB announced this on Thursday.
Referee Benjamin Cortus initially interrupted the encounter last Friday and officially canceled it fifteen minutes later. The Bochum police identified a suspect on Monday and questioned the matter. According to a joint statement by the public prosecutor’s office and the police headquarters, the 38-year-old from Bochum “did not get involved during the interrogation”.
Bochum had demanded a replay of the game and argued that the offender bought his drink “completely legally” and that the club was therefore not at fault. Stephan Oberholz, chairman of the DFB sports court, justified the game rating by saying that the club is responsible for the behavior of its fans.
