Despite security personnel: Violence breaks out at youth derby! Football match over after 12 minutes - police intervention
The youth teams of Aue and Zwickau face off on the pitch. There's a ruckus in the stands - the match isn't completed according to schedule.
The U19 championship match between Erzgebirge Aue and FSV Zwickau was abandoned after spectator riots. In the twelfth minute, assaults occurred in the away section. Police are currently investigating the perpetrators and victims. These measures are ongoing, a police spokesperson said.
The host club, FC Erzgebirge, has already apologized for the incidents and strongly condemns the attacks "regardless of the previous provocations." The club wishes those affected a speedy recovery.
The attacks occurred despite the club having deployed more security personnel than usual for youth games, following prior agreement. Because security could not be guaranteed, the referee immediately called off the rescheduled match from Matchday 23, Aue announced.
