Interfestation at the cup game in Sandhausen: The home fans provoke the guests from Leipzig with a poster. The stadium spokesman reacts.
A banner of home fans caused trouble in the DFB Cup game between SV Sandhausen and RB Leipzig in the stands. At the first round on Saturday afternoon, the followers of the SVS focused on in the first half when they moved a provocative poster towards the guest block.
On the banner the inscription “Shit Red Bull!” to read. Using a cable train, the Sandhausen fans tried to draw the banner closer to the adjacent area of the Leipzig trailers-but without success. Shortly afterwards, fans of both clubs faced each other on the fences of the Hardtwald Stadium. In Sandhausen there are home and guest blocks right next to each other.
The encounter did not have to be interrupted, but the stadium speaker step in. He asked the Sandhäuser supporters not to show any other “disparaging posters” – otherwise a game interruption would be threatened.
RB Leipzig has been exposed to criticism from fans of other clubs for years. Above all, the financial influence of the main sponsor Red Bull is a thorn in the side of many traditionalists. The club was founded in 2009 on the initiative of the beverage company.
