DFB causes unrest by removing a pro-Israel poster – and justifies itself. German U21s achieved an important victory at the Leuna Chemie Stadium in Halle.
However, the sporting success was overshadowed by unrest in the stands. There were said to be shouts of ‘boos’ and cups were also flown towards the area of the stadium where the banner was unrolled. The DFB only punished Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen in the spring because of a discriminatory poster.
