Overview
- Referee Michael Bacher sent off Schalke left-back Moussa Ndiaye with a second yellow in the 51st minute at Elversberg.
- TV replays and comments from Elversberg coach Vincent Wagner indicated the decision was wrong.
- Video review could not step in because current VAR rules do not allow checks on second yellow cards, with a change to permit such reviews expected next season.
- Ndiaye faces an automatic ban for the game against Preußen Münster unless the Deutsche Fußball Liga overturns the decision.
- Schalke still won 2:1 with ten men.
