German Cup match marred by fireworks, pitch invasion
MANNHEIM, Germany (AP) --- A German Cup match between Waldhof Mannheim and
Kaiserslautern was halted for about half an hour on Friday as fans threw
fireworks and other objects and invaded the pitch.
The match was tied at 0-0 and heading into extra time when fans at both ends of
the ground threw flares and objects, narrowly missing some of the players as
they ran from the field.
Some Mannheim supporters made it on to the pitch before officers in riot gear
and mounted police fanned out to push them back.
German news agency dpa says the match resumed after a delay of just under 30
minutes. Ibrahim Kanate scored in the last minute of extra time, giving
second-division Kaiserslautern a 1-0 win to advance to the second round of the
German Cup.
