🎆 After pyro show at the northern derby, Werder face hefty punishment | OneFootball

The northern derby between HSV and Werder Bremen made headlines not only on the pitch. 

In addition to the action on the field, it was especially the Bremen away section that drew attention with a massive pyrotechnic display.

For significant stretches of the match, the stadium was shrouded in smoke, triggered by numerous flares and individual rockets from both stands.

For Werder in particular, this could now become more expensive than ever before. Due to the large amount of pyrotechnics ignited, the club is facing a six-figure fine according to a report by 'Bild'. Bremen has never had to pay so much for a fan-related penalty before!

Werder managing director Anne-Kathrin Laufmann did emphasize the overall positive behavior of the 5,600 traveling fans, but admitted that the pyrotechnic incidents would “have a noticeable impact” on the club.

HSV must also expect sanctions, as numerous flares were lit in the home section as well and colored projectiles delayed the restart of the match.
