After the violent death of a 15-year-old footballer from Berlin, there will be a minute’s silence on the evening before the relegation first leg between VfB Stuttgart and Hamburger SV (8:45 p.m. / Sat.1 and Sky). This was announced by the German Football League (DFL).

The teenager died on Wednesday. As the police announced, the boy succumbed to the consequences of his severe brain injuries, which he suffered on Pentecost Sunday in a fight at a youth tournament in Frankfurt am Main.

The JFC Berlin player had been hit in the head and neck. The alleged perpetrator is a 16-year-old player from a French team.
