Europa Conference League: Police out to stop violence after Union Berlin vs Feyenoord

The Hindu  

Berlin police was on alert for fan violence on Thursday after Union Berlin’s Europa Conference League game with Dutch team Feyenoord. Union lost on its visit to Feyenoord 3-1 on October 21, but that game was overshadowed by the attack on Union's team delegation, including club president Dirk Zingler, the day before, followed by what it said was “brutal police violence” against its fans on the day of the match. … On the day of the match, there were serious organizational deficiencies, perhaps even deliberately by the host club, that meant many Unioners missed large parts of the game.” Zingler also referred to the reports of police violence that led to some Union supporters being taken to the hospital for treatment. “We have never experienced anything like this to this extent before, and we will not let it die down,” said Zingler, adding that his club is "pressing for an explanation.” Union finished Thursday’s game with nine players following the sendings off in the final minutes of captain Christopher Trimmel, who had scored a fine equalizer, and Cedric Teuchert.
