Bayern Munich players including Harry Kane taken off pitch during match as fans hurl tennis balls on field
BAYERN MUNICH’S clash with Bochum was temporarily suspended after fans hurled tennis balls on the pitch.
Several Bundesliga games have been impacted by protests against a private investment into Germany’s top tier.
And the domestic champions were the latest to be disrupted on Sunday as their match away at Bochum was stopped for SEVEN MINUTES.
The referee took both sets of players into the dressing room while the protest was taking place as Harry Kane and Co were led down the tunnel.
They then returned to the field minutes later with Bayern leading 1-0 thanks to a Jamal Musiala goal.
But Bochum came roaring back to lead 2-1 before half-time.
It was the latest in a string of protests from German fans amid reports of a future stake in the league being given to a private equity investor.
On Saturday, the 2. Bundesliga clash between Hansa Rostock and Hamburg was interrupted when remote control cars carrying blue and white flares came onto the pitch.
And on Friday, Werder Bremen’s clash with FC Koln was halted for ten minutes in the second half as fan protests took over.
Meanwhile, amid the chaos involving protests, there is also an intriguing title race in the Bundesliga.
