Union Berlin supporters throw objects onto the pitch in Leipzig. However, the interruption is comparatively short.

The Bundesliga match between RB Leipzig and 1. FC Union Berlin was briefly interrupted in the 26th minute. Small balls or objects resembling marbles or flummies had been thrown onto the pitch from the Union fan block. Stewards and service staff rushed to collect the objects before referee Marco Fritz restarted the match with the score at 1-0 in favor of the Saxons. As in other stadiums at the weekend, fans protested against the German Football League (DFL) investor deal.
