The riots at the second division match between Dynamo Dresden and Hertha BSC on April 4 had significant consequences for both clubs. The Berliners have to pay a fine of 152,000 euros, Dynamo 91,200 euros. In addition, fans will be partially banned from the next two Dynamo home games. However, the second match will be suspended on probation until the summer of 2027. The DFB sports court's decision was announced by the German Football Association.
During Hertha's 1-0 win in Dresden, the match was interrupted for almost five minutes right at the start due to the massive use of pyrotechnics in the visitors' block. Dynamo supporters stole a Hertha banner in the thick fog. This led to rioting inside the stadium. Pyrotechnics were shot into both fan blocks. The police had to intervene and the match was again interrupted for almost 20 minutes.
