Injured at Werder celebrations
However, several people were injured during the space storm after Werder’s rise. In connection with the collective entering the field, the Bremen police spoke of more than 20 injuries, some of whom had to be taken to the hospital. The further investigations are ongoing, it said. Shortly before the final whistle, the first fans ran towards the pitch in the Weser Stadium, which was sold out with 41,000 spectators.
Celebrations on Monday on the market square were waived for reasons of “safety, reason and short-term” in joint consultation with the city of Bremen, as Werder announced. But as early as Sunday evening, more “physical altercations” were reported. “Celebrate! But keep it peaceful!” the police tweeted.
Schalke secured the second division championship with a 2-1 (1-0) win at 1. FC Nürnberg. Rodrigo Zalazar (15th) with a dream goal from almost 60 meters and top scorer Simon Terodde (88th) provided the goals for the Royal Blues, who had already celebrated early promotion on the penultimate matchday.
Hamburger SV, who secured third place in the relegation zone, can still hope for promotion. HSV won 3-2 (0-1) at Hansa Rostock and now meets Hertha BSC in the two relegation games, who missed out on staying in the Bundesliga in the Bundesliga final on Saturday. Hansa took the lead in the 13th minute through Nico Neidhart, but Robert Glatzel (50th) and Sebastian Schonlau (75th) provided the Hamburg team with the win they needed. Pyrotechnics were detonated in the stadium and a fire broke out in one of the stands.
“What we play for a season is really good,” HSV captain Schonlau praised his team on Sky. Goal scorer Robert Glatzel agreed: “Incredible, indescribable!”
SV Darmstadt 98 won 3-0 (3-0) against SC Paderborn. But because their fellow competitors Bremen and HSV didn’t make a mistake, the lilies didn’t make it to third place and ended the season in fourth.
