The latest first-half goal EVER?! Why referee added over 25 minutes of stoppage time to allow Union Berlin to score in chaotic protest scenes during Wolfsburg clash

In what could possibly be the latest first-half goal ever, the defender put Union Berlin ahead 70 minutes into the game - the 25th minute of stoppage time at the end of the first half. Doekhi rose highest to power in a header from a Kevin Volland corner and put Die Eisernen 1-0 up.

The officials signalled that there would be an incredible minimum of 21 additional minutes at the end of the first half after delays following fan protests. The referee was left with no choice but to delay the game after fans threw tennis balls on the pitch in protest against potential foreign investment in the league.

Today's protest is the second in as many days in the Bundesliga after Dortmund fans also took to throwing tennis balls on the pitch in their 3-0 victory over Freiburg. The proposed 'strategic marketing partnership' would allow an outside investment firm to earn a maximum 8 per cent share of the German football league's commercial rights for 20 years.

Having surprisingly finished in fourth last season, Union Berlin sit perilously close to the relegation spots in the Bundesliga. The side will be desperate to claim three points against Wolfsburg and take them six points clear of FC Koln.
