Bundesliga match halted after AR struck

German FIFA referee Deniz Aytekin halted Friday's Bundesliga game between St Pauli and Schalke 04 two minutes before the final whistle was due. Visitors Schalke were leading 2-0 against St Pauli, who had two players sent off, when the assistant referee Thorsten Schiffner was hit on the back of the head with a full cup of beer before falling to the ground two minutes from time and the referee ordered the teams off the pitch.
