There had already been a medical incident in the 2nd Bundesliga on Saturday. Now there is sad news.

After the medical emergency during the second division game in Düsseldorf, the affected 1. FC Magdeburg fan died. Both football clubs announced this and expressed their condolences to relatives and friends.

The emergency intervention in the stands occurred on Saturday before kick-off. After “rescue measures were immediately initiated,” the viewer was taken to hospital in a critical condition and later died there.

Düsseldorf won the game 2-1 (1-0) against bottom-placed Magdeburg. But sport becomes a minor matter. During the game, the fan camps agreed to stop supporting the game.
