Clear result
Bundesliga club Frankfurt had prevailed 7-0 in the first round encounter with the regional league. The game had to be interrupted in the 73rd minute because of firecracker throws. Furthermore, after the throwing of pyrotechnics from a home block in the direction of the wheelchair users sitting in front of it, an investigation was carried out into causing an explosive explosion, the police said. Lok President Torsten Kracht strongly condemned the incidents. He also called for “the culprits to be held accountable”.
