Violence in amateur football: 14-year-old beaten to the hospital - A-class game also escalated

At the weekend there was a crash on two football fields and there were wild brawls.

A total of three people had to be hospitalized, including a 14-year-old.

Amateur sport in a brutal way: The violence escalated on the pitch in two football games over the weekend in Bavaria.

Two young men were injured in a violent fight in an A-class derby in the Swabian town of Zusamaltheim (Dillingen an der Donau district).

Towards the end of the second half, two players from VFL Zusamaltheim II and SV Roggden II attacked each other, said the police, who spoke of "a massive physical confrontation".

Broken nose, shoulder dislocated in the A-Class - 14-year-old has to go to the hospital after being punched

A 31-year-old and a 23-year-old are said to have injured the two players of the opposing team. According to initial findings, they broke the nose of a 21-year-old player, and they are said to have dislocated the shoulder of a 25-year-old. The two injured were taken to the hospital. The referee stopped the game.

In the hospital, the soccer game also ended for a 14-year-old in Leiblfing (Straubing district).

There, too, a youth soccer game got completely out of hand.

As the police announced, a foul in the game between DJK Leiblfing and FC Ergolding was the trigger.

This led to a dispute between two 14-year-old players.

A player from the visiting team pushed the other and, according to the police, hit him several times in the face with his fist.

Spectators finally intervened to separate the opponents.

The home-team boy was slightly injured and was admitted to the hospital.

The police are investigating.
