Blocked escape gates in Bochum – threatens to abandon game

There was a delay in the Bundesliga game between Bochum and Stuttgart on Saturday afternoon. The second half could not be started.

Curiosity in Bochum. After the half-time break, the restart of the Bundesliga game between VfL Bochum and VfB Stuttgart was delayed. Because fence flags in the Stuttgart curve blocked escape gates, referee Bastian Dankert initially refused to whistle the game again. Despite several loudspeaker announcements, the banners were not initially taken down. It is unclear whether the game can continue at all. According to Sky reporter Jens Westen, abandoning the game is a realistic option.
