Hansa Rostock against Schalke. It was extremely heated. In the end, Schalke cheered – although the police would probably not have allowed play to continue if they had been able to decide on their own.

There was a lot going on at the second division match between Hansa Rostock and FC Schalke 04. The soccer was poor before the break, but things got heated in the stands.

As a result, referee Nicolas Winter had to send both teams into the dressing room after 29 minutes. The Rostock police announced on Twitter: “A glass partition was destroyed by visiting fans in the visitors’ block. Some fans were able to get into the buffer block to the south stand. Police had to be deployed between the home and guest fan areas. After a stoppage in play, the match has now been restarted.”

If it had been up to the police, the match would probably not have been restarted. At least that’s what Hansa captain Markus Kolke said on Sky after the match: “I heard that the police wanted to stop the game immediately.”

However, the whistle was blown again and Rostock were immediately sent off after the break. A scene that took place before the interruption was checked.

And Winter turned yellow into red against Hansa player Junior Brumado. Kolke emphasized: “It was not an issue that another red card would follow. It was unfortunate in that situation. We didn’t hear anything about a VAR check. “

Nobody knew that a restart would be accompanied by a VAR review. Kolke: “You mustn’t forget that Brumado is 25 centimeters taller than Idrizi. The elbow doesn’t go up either, you could have drawn a dark yellow. I think everyone was surprised in the end.”

Even Schalke’s Simon Terodde, who had to tremble beforehand because: “We didn’t know whether it would continue.” After the long interruption, Schalke then put in a commanding performance in superior numbers, which was rewarded late on with the two goals.

The S04 veteran expressed his relief on Sky: “After the Düsseldorf game, we were on our faces, we were down. It was therefore important that we got our act together. It was an intense game – from both sides. Games like that are great fun.”

However, there were no big celebrations with the home fans after the game. Terodde also explained this with the hectic atmosphere beforehand: “We thanked them, but of course you don’t want to add fuel to the fire, Hansa also had their assistant coach sent off. I also don’t like it in the home stadium when the opposing team celebrates too much. “
