At the beginning of the second half of SV Werder Bremen’s home game against 1. FC Union Berlin, an unpleasant incident occurred: Union striker Sheraldo Becker pushed over a Bremen ball boy.

Bremen – Marvin Ducksch, Romano Schmid and Milos Veljkovic were the protagonists of the SV Werder Bremen in the deserved 2-0 home win against 1. FC Union Berlin. But a green and white ball boy also involuntarily came into focus – or rather: he was pushed there. From Union Star Sheraldo Beckerwho made an unpleasant miss shortly after the break and may be punished for it later.

After nine competitive defeats in a row, the guests from Berlin were clearly tense – especially after falling behind thanks to an own goal from Robin Knoche (37th). A throw-in worked Sheraldo Becker not quick enough in the 47th minute. The ball boy, who was sitting on a box behind the boards on the side of the coaches’ benches, had handed the Berliner the playing equipment, but the professional was apparently expecting a slightly faster throw. Becker took the ball and simply pushed the teenager over. He fell backwards, startled. Everything captured by the TV cameras.

The scene was shown live on Sky, and the ZDF sports studio prominently included the action in its match report on Saturday evening – as evidence of how nerve-racking it was Union Berlin just lying blank. The television pictures also showed that referee Tobias Stieler was there briefly after the action Sheraldo Becker goes into conversation, but waives a punishment. For now. The control committee of the German Football Association (DFB) may subsequently become involved to investigate the Unioner. (kneel)
