The control commission of the German Football Federation (DFB) has opened a file against Santiago
Ascacíbar, of the Hertha
Berlin, for insults to a rival of Union
Berlin in game last Sunday.
Ascacíbar saw a yellow card in the 78th minute of the capital derby, which was drawn 1-1. The sanction came as a result of an entry to Nico
Schlottenberg, who was lying on the grass with gestures of pain.
The microphones caught it
In the midst of this situation, the Argentine midfielder addressed his rival with the phrase: “Get up, you bastard”, which the referee did not catch at that time, but the microphones did.
