Mass Brawl Halts Kreisliga C Match in Hesse After Late Foul

Police opened two assault cases, seeking witnesses.

Overview

  • Sunday’s match between SpVgg. Hüttengesäß II and RW Großauheim II in Hüttengesäß was abandoned after unrest on the field.
  • A foul in the 84th minute preceded a confrontation in which a 29-year-old Großauheim player repeatedly struck a 27-year-old Hüttengesäß opponent, knocking him to the ground.
  • The confrontation escalated into a fight involving players and spectators, leaving three people injured, according to regional reports.
  • The referee showed two red cards before stopping play, and the violence continued as the 29-year-old was attacked again while heading to the dressing room.
  • Police recorded several identities at the scene, filed two criminal complaints for assault—with one report citing serious bodily harm—and a disciplinary review by the Hessian FA is expected.
