Dynamo fans storm the pitch: Top match in Dresden interrupted

Fans storming onto the pitch at the Bundesliga 2 match between Dynamo Dresden and Hertha BSC caused an interruption. First, both fan camps set off pyrotechnics. Then suddenly Hertha and Dynamo supporters jumped over the fences. The Dresden supporters even ran across the pitch towards the Hertha fan block.

Referee Sven Jablonski had to interrupt the second division match and sent the teams to the dressing room. Meanwhile, police officers tried to force the Dynamo supporters back into their block.

Dynamo captain tries to mediate

More than 100 police officers then remained in the Dynamo half in two large rows with a view into the Ultra block. The atmosphere in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium was extremely heated. The yellow-banned Dresden captain Stefan Kutschke tried to mediate.

Half an hour after kick-off, the police left the pitch again. The stadium announcer announced that the match would continue. Jablonski finally - officially - blew the whistle again in the 19th minute.

The match had to be interrupted for the first time after just three minutes. The Herthans set off pyrotechnics with blue and white smoke in their visitors' block, while Dynamo supporters set off fireworks behind the Ultra block outside the stadium. After a few minutes, Jablonski continued the match until the second interruption.
