Andre Silva went onto pitch with label on his shirt and gave it Embolo

The Bundesliga restart led to celebrations without hugs, empty stadia and players doing social distancing on the bench. But there were also some surreal scenes.

One of those took place in the second half of Eintracht Frankfurt versus Borussia Monchengladbach. The Frankfurt coach, Adi Hutter, decided to bring on Andre Silva, who put his shirt on the bench, to replace Sow.

However, the Portuguese striker realised after two minutes that he had forgotten to take the tag off and he removed it while play was going on. 

When Embolo was in the vicinity, Silva gave it to him. It looked like a piece of paper with some instructions on it. That is what the Gladbach midfielder thought it was. However, when he opened it, he saw it was the label and started laughing along with the Portuguese attacker.
