Hertha Berlin defender Peter Niemeyer was caught on camera touching Steinhaus’ left breast during the match against Alemania Aachen earlier this week.
Luckily for Niemeyer, the 31-year-old official laughed off the incident after initially raising her eyebrow at the player.
The defender apologised straight away and, speaking after the game, said: ‘She was standing a bit further away than I thought.
‘I meant to give her a pat on the back.’
The match was Steinhaus’ first televised game as a referee and one she won’t forget in a hurry.
The fixture itself ended 0-0 with Niemeyer’s inappropriate grab undoubtedly the highlight.
