Fans of SV Sandhausen and RB Leipzig clashed during the first round of the DFB Cup. This was triggered in the first half by a banner from SVS supporters that read "Shit Red Bull!". The home fans tried to pull the banner towards the RB block with a rope. However, they were unable to do so.
A few moments later, several fans were standing opposite each other on the fences, as the home and visiting blocks are right next to each other in Sandhausen. The match was not interrupted. However, the stadium announcer instructed the Sandhausen fans not to display any more "disparaging posters". Otherwise the match could be interrupted, he said.
The Saxon club has repeatedly had to contend with hostility. Soccer traditionalists are bothered by the influence of drinks company Red Bull, whose financial support made RB Leipzig so successful in the first place.
