During the match against Hamburg, referee Deniz Aytekin awarded a free kick to Augsburg right on the edge of the penalty area following a duel with Fábio Vieira. At the moment his team was given an extremely dangerous opportunity, Gregoritsch made a move rarely seen at the top level. Instead of taking advantage of the situation, he approached the referee and admitted that there had been no foul. Specifically, as the forward confessed, he was the one who initiated the contact and fell over the opposing player. After a brief discussion, Aytekin reversed his decision and canceled the free kick. "I fell on him, and the referee called a foul. He asked me if I stepped on his foot, and I said yes. Then he said: 'Alright, then it's not a foul,'" explained Gregoritsch after the match.
