Overview

• Two of the original five games were placed on probation until the end of the 2025/26 season, leaving an active three-match ban for the BSG Chemie Leipzig defender.
• The appeals court determined Julian Weigel ran in from distance at high speed and knocked a Hallescher FC supporter to the ground, finding no justification for the intensity of the action.
• Weigel has already missed one match and will be unavailable for two more, including Sunday’s derby at Lok Leipzig.
• Chemie Leipzig maintains Weigel acted in self-defense during a chaotic pitch invasion with advancing, partly masked fans and insufficient protection by security.
• Separate proceedings into supporter misconduct continue at the NOFV sport court, and police have a special commission seeking witnesses to the pitch invasion; teammate Valon Aliji was fined €750 and banned for two matches.
