📸 Huge protest action: DFB-Pokal final halted for minutes | OneFootball

Just a few moments after Harry Kane gave FC Bayern the lead, the ball came to a stop at Berlin’s Olympiastadion. Referee Sven Jablonski had interrupted the match. 

Before that, both sets of fans had clearly protested against the DFB. Under the motto “Great rivals agree,” the Bayern fans and the Stuttgart supporters displayed several banners to express their message. Once again, the issues included topics such as police violence, ticket prices, and stadium bans. 

That was followed by a pyrotechnic show from both sides, the likes of which are rarely seen on this scale. 

Because of the smoke, the match was suspended for several minutes. However, play has since resumed. 

FC Bayern currently lead 2-0.
