- Both clubs condemned the disorder, and the DFB control committee will review an incident that paused the game twice, including a roughly 20-minute stoppage.
- Hertha won 1-0 in Dresden despite Josip Brekalo’s 66th‑minute red card, with keeper Tjark Ernst saving a penalty before an own goal settled the match.
- Schalke beat Karlsruhe 1-0 on Sunday to retain first place in the 2. Bundesliga, as captain Kenan Karaman headed the winner with injured striker Edin Dzeko out.
