Berlin: Bundesliga club Union Berlin are still seeking to overturn the decision to award Bochum a 2-0 win after their goalkeeper was hit by a lighter thrown by an Union fan - despite two legal defeats already. The game originally finished 1-1 before the German Football Federation (DFB) twice ruled in favour of Bochum. Now Union are going to a special arbitration court used for disputes between professional clubs and the DFB or German Football League (DFL). “We will file a lawsuit within the deadline,” Union’s communications chief Christian Arbeit said on Tuesday. According to media reports, the deadline is set to expire in the coming days. Sources close to the matter told dpa that the court aims to deliver a swift ruling to ensure clarity in the league table before the end of the season. The extra two points for Bochum have already been added by the Bundesliga. (dpa)
