Pitch sabotaging incident

On 5 December 2015, Hitz intentionally sabotaged the ground near the penalty spot after a penalty was awarded to 1. FC Köln in their match against Augsburg. Anthony Modeste missed the penalty, and Augsburg went on to win the match 1-0. Hitz later apologised for his actions.[3] Hitz was billed €122.92 by 1.
