After the game was abandoned: FSV Zwickau against Dynamo Dresden now without fans? | Sports

After the beer attack on referee Nicolas Winter (31), there is a risk of an aftermath. Not only for the beer thrower, but also for the FSV Zwickau. BILD answers the most important questions after the game was abandoned.

► What penalties does the FSV face?

Referee Winter will write a special report. It is very likely that the game, which was stopped at half-time on Sunday when the score was 1-1, will be scored 2-0 by the DFB sports court for Essen. Paragraph 18 of the legal and procedural rules of the DFB stipulates: “If a team or its club is at fault for the game being abandoned, the game is to be considered lost by the guilty party with 0:2 goals and won by the innocent party with 2:0 goals .”

For that he has to FSV Zwickau expect a high fine. The DFB statutes provide for a fine of up to 100,000 euros for “insufficient protection of the referee” or “for culpably causing a game to be abandoned”. According to the DFB statutes, a seat ban or the exclusion or partial exclusion of spectators are also possible as additional punishment. FSV still has three home games to play this season: against Mannheim (May 6), Dynamo Dresden (May 13) and 1860 Munich (May 27).

► When can a decision be expected?

The DFB control committee will initiate an investigation and ask the FSV and Rot-Weiss Essen to comment. The DFB sports court then decides on the match rating. Because time is short in the final spurt of the season, a judgment can probably be expected within the next two weeks.

FSV Zwickau wants to check the security concept

► Has the beer thrower been identified?

Yes! It is a Sponsor of the FSV. Ulf N. used to sit on the Zwickauer presidium. Police spokesman Christian Schünemann: “The police were able to name the suspect. He is now being investigated for bodily harm.” FSV board spokesman Frank Fischer: “We will exhaust all possibilities to take recourse against the person.” N. is also threatened with a stadium ban.

► Could the beer attack have been prevented?

Yes! An extendable player tunnel or umbrellas would probably have been enough to protect Winter from the beer toss. FSV boss Fischer has announced that he will examine and correct his own security concept.

Interior Minister Armin Schuster: “Eklat makes me stunned”

5700 spectators were there Scandal game of the FSV against food. Among them was Saxony’s Minister of the Interior, Armin Schuster (61, CDU), who watched the game in the Zwickau GGZ Arena after a working meeting.

“The mood, the fans, the weather and also the sporting performance – everything was set up for a football festival in the relegation battle,” Schuster told BILD. The Minister of the Interior continued: “Despite the difficult season, the fans are solidly behind the team. That distinguishes the FSV from other clubs. And now this scandal – from the grandstand, of all places – leaves me stunned and in any case a pity.”

Coach Ronny Thielemann: “We’re not giving up!”

Deprived of the possible sporting reward! When the game against Essen was abandoned, the score was 1-1.

FSV head coach Ronny Thielemann (49) to BILD: “Pressure on the opponent, purposeful going forward – it was a great first half for us. It’s all the more disappointing what became of it. I don’t want to say more about a pending case.”

If the game is assessed as lost by the DFB sports court for Zwickau, it remains seven points behind the first non-relegation zone. Relegation to the regional league could hardly be avoided. As an athlete, Thielemann is a fighter. The coach: “We’re not giving up the season. We now want to show our home face away in Osnabrück.”
