In the 26th round of the Bundesliga, Bochum is hosting Eintracht Frankfurt. However, the kickoff whistle did not blow at the scheduled 15:30 Central European Time. It has become clear what happened.
Details: According to Frankfurter Rundschau, the visiting fans covered the emergency exits with their banners, which delayed the start of the match. The stadium announcer spent twenty minutes asking the visiting fans to remove their banners. However, the Frankfurt fans did not immediately comply with this request. At the time of publication, the match had not started.
Reminder: For Bochum, this is not a new situation. Due to similar incidents, there have been delays in matches against Stuttgart and Borussia Mönchengladbach. It was previously reported that Eintracht is confident that Mario Götze will remain with the team.
