Result stands in abandoned Schalke-St Pauli match

Schalke have been awarded a 2-0 victory in their Bundesliga match with St Pauli which was abandoned last Friday when an assistant referee was hit by a plastic beer cup at the Millerntor-Stadion, the German Football Association have announced.

The Hamburg side were trailing the match 2-0 when referee Deniz Aytekin called a half in the 87th minute and the DFB’s sporting court ruled today that as the club was responsible for the behaviour of its fans that scoreline should stand.
