The German Cup match between arch-rivals Walshof Mannheim and Kaiserslautern turned into a battlefield beyond the football field. A total of 85 people, including 35 security personnel, were injured in extreme rioting by spectators and clashes with police.
The derby match, which was marked as high-risk on Friday night, was tense from the start. The historical animosity between the fans, as the two cities are only 50 kilometers apart, already raised the risk of violence. Violence spread to the gallery after the scheduled 90-minute match ended 0-0.
