📸 Union fans unveil massive choreography, match halted after pyro show | OneFootball

The Friday evening match between Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt had only been underway for a few minutes when play had to be interrupted once again. After the home fans celebrated their club’s 60th birthday with an XXXXXXL choreography at kickoff, the use of pyrotechnics shortly afterwards led to poor visibility and thus to a stoppage in play. 

In the first part of the choreography, all the stands in the stadium were covered with huge banners. Truly impressive images. 

Afterwards, flares were lit and the resulting mix of smoke and fog caused poor visibility in subzero temperatures. 

In total, the referee team paused the match for seven minutes. Then play was able to continue at the Alte Försterei.
