This was the decision of the German Football Association's sports court almost a month after the 1:1 draw in Berlin. An appeal against the decision is still possible.

The match was interrupted for more than 25 minutes shortly before the end on December 14 after Drewes was hit by a lighter thrown from the Union block and had to leave the pitch. Bochum lodged an appeal against the scoring of the match.
