Fan hits ref in the head with a beer, a breakdown
What Happened
In a heated Bundesliga match between Borussia Monchengladbach and an unnamed opponent, tensions boil over in the stands. With the score 2-0 in favor of Borussia Monchengladbach in the 72nd minute, the game is suddenly interrupted as players and officials notice one of the referees holding the back of his head in pain. Replays show that a fan in the crowd has thrown a full beer cup, striking the referee directly in the head. The impact causes the referee to drop to one knee, clearly stunned by the unexpected blow. The players immediately react, rushing over to the sideline and yelling toward the fans, presumably identifying and confronting the culprit. As the video zooms in, the fan who threw the beer is spotted wearing a blue hoodie, white undershirt, and a face mask. His companions can be seen trying to distance themselves from the situation, one even raising his own beer cup as if to suggest he was not involved. The goalkeeper from the opposing team angrily storms across the field, screaming at the fan and gesturing aggressively, clearly outraged by the incident. The referee, still rubbing the back of his head, confers with his fellow officials, and they ultimately decide to abandon the match. The players leave the field, and the fans start to become unruly, with the goalkeeper pleading in vain for them to calm down and accept the decision. As the teams exit, the camera captures a unique "trap door" mechanism that lowers the players and officials below the field, keeping them safe from any further fan interference. This unfortunate incident has overshadowed what was likely an exciting Bundesliga clash. The actions of the irresponsible fan have not only disrupted the game but also potentially put the referee's safety at risk. The league and authorities will undoubtedly investigate the matter further, with the hope of identifying and punishing the individual responsible for this unacceptable behavior. The aftermath of this event serves as a stark reminder of the need for improved security and fan conduct in the sport of soccer.

Click timestamps to jump to that momentwe're going to the bundesliga this
breakdown is brought to you by
draftkings hang with me we have a match
between
borussia montjun
and
[Music]
and it's two nothing borussia and what's
gonna happen is i believe this is one of
the first games at full capacity and
just like in the us we had fights galore
in the stands we're gonna have nonsense
in the stands and the game suddenly
stops and all the players are like why
and then they point to the line ref and
he's holding the back of his head
rubbing it like what the hell and here's
what happened you can see it come from
the crowd and bam splashes hits him
right in the head
drops him to his knee
so the beer is going to come
and it's in the air and bam and we're
going to have an investigation and we're
going to find the guy that did this
because it's messed up don't throw
things at people on the field they're
doing their job you just hit him in the
head with a beer
i don't think he expected the beer to
hit him heavy side down
bam
head shot heavy side down
messed up
not cool he's just trying to wrap a game
maybe the guy was hoping he would miss
or scare him or like it would flip over
so he throws the cup to the side looks
at the crowd shakes his head
goes to one knee
probably a little more scary than
hurtful because once one guy throws
something at you well you're at the
mercy of anyone doing anything to you
you just kind of the layer of protection
you have that we're living in society
evaporates because one kind of
ruined it so the other ref comes over
he's rubbing the back of his head now
the players are going to come over and
they're going to start yelling at the
fan
who threw it or they suspect through it
so he's
getting me out of here eventually
we're going to find this guy all right
here we go so i blurred out the two
sections where it came from and then
where it hit him
and you can see the guy who threw it
let's get a little closer okay we got a
circle on him you're gonna see the
motion
uh the throwing motion right there

never throw a beer at someone beer in
his hand

and then the players are yelling at them
and you can see he's quiet and his buddy
over here
is like pointing at his beer like look i
have my beer and this guy over here he's
holding his beer up and like i got my
beer they're kind of just ratting out
their friend in a way like i got mine i

they're losing look at this you got his
fist let's go let's go you can do it you
can do it and this our main dude the
thrower himself he's just kind of quiet
looking away
all right let's end this
the keepers pissed off that keeper ran
from all the way on the other side of
the field to yell at him
and the ref
his head's hurt
and like i said
kind of just a no-go
at all
so now the fans start getting antsy and
the keepers getting pissed because they
called the game
they're seven they're in the 72nd minute
i believe
this keeper he's from germany
and the other team leaves and the refs
say we're out of here
this isn't worth it at all and he's
begging him he's like come on that guy's
just an idiot one dude one da
i guess i don't know what he's saying
it's german
but
in the end he doesn't he doesn't win the
fight they all have to leave they go
through this secret trap door
that's kind of cool that just lowers and
it looks like grass
that's innovative i like it
so there you go don't know if they're
looking for them but we found them it
was that dude
it was him it was that guy
and don't any of you be like that dude
he sucks
ruined a good time for literally every
other
fan
in the stance
he hit a ref in the head with the beer
every other fan didn't get to see the
epic comeback they were about to witness
they would have won just ask the keeper
