Augsburg fans lost their patience this Thursday (15th), but not exactly with the team.
At the end of the 17th round, many of the team's supporters threw countless rubber balls—those bouncy balls, or "perereca" if you're from the state of Rio—onto the field during the match against Union Berlin.

While security and players were picking up the balls, the game was halted for several minutes in the first half.
The fans were protesting against Bundesliga matches being held on Thursdays with this action. However, at least one person visibly had fun with the balls during the protest.
Han-Noah Massengo, from Augsburg, enthusiastically did keepie-uppies with the small balls while warming up on the sideline (click on the tweet to see all the images).
His teammate, Alexis Claude-Maurice, also worked some magic just before halftime with the "big" ball (the soccer ball).
