Tenth in the Bundesliga, Augsburg is right in the soft underbelly of the championship. And last Saturday, the German club had a second consecutive draw against Hoffenheim (1-1), at home. In addition to the final score and the more or less innocuous meeting, a game fact animates the debates in Germany. In fact, a firecracker was launched from the visitors’ parking lot towards the field.
An explosion, a detonation, a match stopped, but above all 13 injured according to Kicker. A heavy toll and spectators shocked by the scene, violent and extremely dangerous. The German media also reports that the two suspects identified through video surveillance were taken into police custody. They would be two 28-year-old men. After the match, Hoffenheim apologized for the “senseless derailment” caused.
