In his 100th game for Munich, Ulreich pushed a ball boy, who lost his balance and fell. With the score 2:3 in injury time, Ulreich scored the sixth with a quick goal kick. Bundesliga-He avoided the defeat of the season, but did not receive any ball from the Heidenheim ball boy.
The 35-year-old then jumped over the advertising billboard at the edge of the field and roughly pushed the ball boy to the side, who lost his balance and tripped into a wall behind him. But he remained unharmed.
Ulreich, who replaced the currently injured Manuel Neuer in goal, jumped onto the field with the ball in his hand. But the defeat was already sealed: Bayern lost 2:3.
After the final whistle, Ulreich admitted his misstep and apologized to the ball boy in the interest of fair play. The substitute goalkeeper took the teenager in his arms and handed him his jersey, which he then proudly presented to the camera.
It is not yet clear whether the incident will have consequences for Ulreich. However, he probably envisioned his 100th official match with the record champions differently.
