Overview

• Würzburger Kickers fans caused multiple match stoppages by igniting flares, throwing firecrackers, and firing rockets during Schweinfurt’s decisive 2-1 victory.
• Referee Markus Pflaum temporarily halted the game and sent players to the locker room, nearly abandoning the match before it resumed and concluded.
• The Bayerischer Fußball-Verband (BFV) labeled the incidents as 'shameful' and promised severe judicial action under its statutes to address the violations.
• Würzburger Kickers distanced themselves from the responsible fans, calling their actions an 'attack on the core values of the club and football,' and pledged to identify and sanction those involved.
• The club placed the offending ultra block under strict observation, with the possibility of closure for future home games as investigations continue.
