A racist insult has apparently occurred in the DFB Cup game between RSV Eintracht from Brandenburg and the 1st FC Kaiserslautern.
The RSV Eintracht stadium spokesman won the word in the Karl Liebknecht Stadium in Potsdam in the 56th minute. “There was just a racist insult to a substitute of the 1st FC Kaiserslautern”he said. This is denied. “Everyone is welcome here with us. We don’t want that, we don’t tolerate that, please take a look at you.”
According to a report by the “Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung” the alleged perpetrator of the stands was expelled. Fans of both clubs solidarized and called together “Nazis out”.
Referee loosened Three-step plan out of
Referee Cristian Ballweg was made aware of the incident by Lauterer Bank, said Alex Feuerherdt, spokesman for DFB Schiri GmbH, in an interview with the sports show. The insult did not notice Ballweg itself, but triggered the first stage of the three-stage plan with the instigation of the stadium announcement.
The three levels are:
- Level 1: Interruption and initiation of a loudspeaker announcement.
- Level 2: Another interruption, the teams should go into the changing room.
- Level 3: Game breakdown

The teams and the Schiriteam jointly prompted that the Lauterer players should no longer warm up in front of the fan block of the RSV. The FCK players switched to their own fan block, said Feuerherdt. Now it is up to the DFB control committee to decide on investigations against RSV Eintracht, which could lead to an indictment in front of the DFB sports court.
Unclear which player was insulted
Which player the insult was initially unclear. FCK coach Lieberknecht praised the RSV’s quick reaction and the reference to the fan. He did not want to give the name of the player concerned, “Because he has to find his way around”. He hadn’t spoken to him yet. “But I’ll do that.”
Kaiserslautern won the game against RSV Eintracht from Brandenburg Stahnsdorf 7-0.
