You don't see that too often! Referee Robert Schröder had to be replaced at the match between Heidenheim and FC Bayern due to circulation problems.

At the start of the second half, fourth official Patrick Alt took over, making his unexpected Bundesliga debut. He has already officiated 83 games in the Bundesliga 2. A few minutes after the restart, a fourth official was found from the crowd.
