2:3 ( 2:2 after 90 min ) cup loss vs schalke
awesome first half and we deserved the 2:0 lead
only defended in second half and all subs were horrendous and made errors to conceeding goals + no good day for our keeper jarstein
only good thing is piatek scored his first goal

FIFA introduced the three-step procedure against racist incidents in football ahead of the 2017 Confederations Cup. It allows referees to stop the match for an announcement in the stadium, then to suspend and finally abandon it.
Peter Sippel, a former referee working for the German FA, told outlet sportschau.de that there was too much time between the incident around the 70th minute and the break before extra time to have the right "context" for an announcement.
Although informed about the incident by Hertha officials, referee Osmers did not initiate such an announcement and played on. The player was then sent off only minutes later.
idiot of a ref too
