The fans of FC Augsburg seemed to have had enough this evening. To conclude the 17th matchday, numerous home fans threw countless bouncy balls onto the field during the game against Union Berlin.
While stewards and players collected the rubber balls, the game was halted for several minutes in the first half. The fans were protesting against Bundesliga games on Thursdays with this action. At least one person visibly enjoyed the bouncy balls during the protest.
Augsburg's Han-Noah Massengo diligently juggled the small balls while warming up on the goal line. His teammate Alexis Claude-Maurice then worked his magic with the big ball shortly before the break.
From nearly 30 meters, he scored into the top right corner for a 1-0 halftime lead.
