Q: What was memorable about the match on November 8th, 1975 between SV Werder Bremen and Hannover 96?
A: the referee, Wolf-Dieter Ahlenfelder, admitted to drinking during lunch before the game, and called halftime after only 32 minutes. After complaints from players, he asked his assistant, who confirmed that the call came too early, so Ahlenfelder allowed play to continue, but ultimately called halftime a minute early. He received a short ban on officiating Bundesliga matches.
