In addition, the court imposed a fine of 15,000 euros on Essen and a block ban in the next home game. The use of pyrotechnics in a previous game against Borussia Mönchengladbach II was also punished.
The game on Essen’s Hafenstrasse was initially interrupted when the score was 1-1 after firecrackers were thrown from the Essen fan corner in the direction of the Münster substitutes. Münster’s player Marvin Thiel suffered a bang trauma. After a discussion with both teams, the match was stopped by the referee. There had already been riots in the first leg between the two teams in Münster.
