3rd League: Police on the pitch! Fan chaos interrupts Wagner’s promotion game | Sports

Fan riot in Unterhaching!

In the promotion second leg between Unterhaching and Cottbus, the game must be interrupted 20 minutes before the end when the hosts are 1-0.

The reason: Cottbus fan idiots throw flares, beer mugs and iron bars onto the square.

Within seconds, dozens of police officers line up in front of the guest fans’ block and have to prevent a storming of the square after Cottbus supporters had opened a gate to the square. Referee Tobias Reichel interrupts the game immediately.

Cottbus coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz (57) and club president Sebastian Lemke go into their own curve and want to calm the block, but are also thrown at with cups. Smoke is also rising outside the stadium, but inside the stadium it is announced that the fire brigade has everything under control.

The game is interrupted for around 15 minutes, then Reichel continues the game. Shortly thereafter, Simon Skarlatidis (32) scored the 2-0 for Unterhaching and, after the 2-1 win in the first leg, made it clear that the club coached by Sandro Wagner (35) was promoted to the third division.
