Local police reported clashes after Carl Zeiss Jena’s 5-0 victory over Chemie Leipzig, resulting in 79 injuries including 10 officers and 64 fans. 40 charges were filed.
Jena's club statement emphasized that a significant group of away fans broke through a buffer zone, leading to disorder, while condemning violence and expressing hope for recovery.
Despite the left-wing leanings of the ultras, trouble was anticipated due to the historic hostility between fan groups, prompting the match to be labeled high risk.
Authorities deployed physical force, including batons and tear gas, to restore order after fans set off pyrotechnics during a march that preceded the match.
