Victor Boniface's unsportsmanlike conduct during the DFL Supercup led to a one-match ban and a €25,000 fine after he received a red card.
Referee Tobias Stieler admitted he did not witness Boniface's obscene gesture, allowing for a retrospective investigation by the DFB control committee.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen acknowledged the DFB's decision to ban Boniface for one domestic cup match and confirmed their agreement to the ruling.
The incident highlights the challenges of player conduct and the strict measures taken by governing bodies like the DFB to maintain sportsmanship.
