Borussia Dortmund had just taken the lead against Bayer Leverkusen through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when referee Felix Zwayer suspended the game.
The reason: Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt refused to leave the sideline after being red carded by the match official.
The referee felt he had no choice but to remove himself and his assistants to their dressing room.
