Watch: Franck Ribery gouges Gonzalo Castro's eye in DFB-Pokal final

There were no goals in the first half of Saturday's DFB-Pokal final, but there was one eye gouge.
Minutes before Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund entered the interval with the fixture still scoreless, Franck Ribery decided to take out some anger on Gonzalo Castro.
After appearing to be clipped by Julian Weigl, Ribery responded by knocking the German defensive midfielder to the ground. Then, because the French winger still needed to let off some steam, he stuck a finger in Castro's left eye.
Bewilderingly, both Ribery and Castro were issued yellow cards.
